    My check ABS light is on after disconnecting the battery.

    Are there any fixes? Truck has 2,700 miles.

    Cheers

    That's too far!

    The fuse is good and I can't imagine any of the 4 sensors are bad. Would reconnecting the battery create an open circuit?

    Disconnect both terminals on the battery wait 2 minutes...touch the battery terminals together then reattach terminals to battery. Put positive on first make tight then negative.

    Thanks!

    I spoke with a tech and fellow land cruiser enthusiast. I reconnected the battery a final time and drove in a circle, anti clockwise until I heard an audible chime. I thought he was pulling my leg. It worked! This has fixed the problem. I hope this helps others who may encounter this problem.

    It fixed my problem and removed the warning from my dash. The tech, told me it may sound like BS, but it worked.
