When the control module fails, you’ll likely notice that the brakes lock up. A bad module can cause your brakes to lock up under normal braking. Random stops and starts might be something you notice from the brakes.

Will ABS module stop car from starting?
If you are sure it is the ABS relay missing, then that will not prevent your car from starting. Only the brake system has a unique circuit. If the engine does not crank over fast, you may have a weak battery or a bad battery.
If the car starts, but you can’t get it to start, it may be because the battery is dead or the relay is not working properly. You may need to replace your battery and/or relay.
What problems can ABS cause?
ABS system is not functioning properly, then your vehicle is likely to skid, hydroplane and lose traction under heavy braking conditions. The last thing you want to do is find out when you need it the most, which could lead to a crash.
ABS is designed to prevent skidding and hydroplaning, but it does not prevent the vehicle from losing traction. This is why it is so important to have a good set of tyres on your car, especially if you are going to be on the road for a long period of time.
What causes ABS module to malfunction?
The most common ABS problems occur when sensors become contaminated with debris or metal shavings. Sensor wiring can be damaged, resulting in intermittent or non-functional readings. If you suspect your ABS sensor is malfunctioning, contact your dealer for a free repair or replacement.
Will disconnecting battery reset ABS module?
Yes, if the car battery is disconnected long enough it will reset the ABS light. If your car’s battery has been disconnected for a long period of time, you will see a blinking red light on the dash. This is a good indication that the battery needs to be recharged. If you do not see this blinking light, your battery may be disconnected too long.
What happens if I disconnect ABS fuse?
The anti-lock function will stop working properly, which may increase the distance it takes to safely stop your vehicle. The lock on the rear tires will make your vehicle more difficult to stop and increase vehicle swing on turns. (ABS) is designed to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions by preventing the rear wheels from locking while the vehicle is in motion.
Can ABS trigger engine light?
Diagnostic systems in your car help it run smoothly and detect issues that need to be fixed. The brakes system, the engine diagnostic controls, and the emissions systems are some of the examples. All these systems can cause the check engine light to come on. If the light comes on, it means that something is wrong with your car.
It could be a problem with one of the systems or it could mean that the car is not running as well as it should. DTC is a series of numbers that are assigned to a specific problem. For example, if you have trouble starting your engine, you will have a code of “1” on your dashboard.
The code is assigned by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and is used to determine if your vehicle is safe to drive. You can find out more about the codes and how to fix them by visiting the NWS website at www.nhtsa.dot.gov.

I’ve known that a bad battery caused an airbag light to come on in a Toyota Hilux so yes,it’s possible that a bad alternator can cause the ABS brake light to come on.
