Do you have a diagnostic scan tool to check for malfunction codes in the ABS system?

Same problem here no reception for calls . we don't need it no worries
What we need to do is get hooked up to a diagnostic scan tool and check for ABS malfunction codes.
this will help us find what is causing you this problem.

I don't have a diagnostic scan tool. I read on another site to disconnect the positive on the battery and press the foot brake?I don't have cell phone reception

Disregard the call option
Disconnecting the battery will just clear the malfunction codes that we need to have?
and reset the management system.
Plus ABS system will not clear with the battery disconnected only the engine and transmission system,
So disconnecting the battery for the ABS issue will not work.
Need without any doubt a scan tool is needed in this case.

Yes, no problem but I need you in the meantime to get hooked up to a diagnostic scan tool and check for ABS malfunction codes.
With the malfunction codes, I will be able to help you
