Re: 96 grand cherokee abs light
Thanks Bill, that link says the same thing that I said.
There are TWO brake lights, one that indicates a failure of the braking
system - the parking brake is partially engaged, there is a fluid level
issue, or similar - and the other indicates the ABS system is inactive. If
the braking system failure light AND the ABS light are on together, then
there is a potentially serious issue that can make the vehicle unsafe to
drive. If the ABS light is on by itself, then the only consideration is that
the brakes can lock up during an emergency manuver.

Hmm.. and the ABS lamp is still lit? That's odd. Try cleaning the ABS
sensor connector, it might not be a critical fault. But it should be
storing something. It doesn't light the light without trowing a fault
of some sort. Usually when my connector gets full of road grime it causes
the lamp to light as the jeep goes over railroad tracks or bumps. That
throws all sorts of faults. Use some plastic safe contact/electronics cleaner
and dilectric grease. Don't forget to clean the backshell on the connector
that's where the grime gets trapped.

Leaving the key On won't keep the pump running, it only primes for a set
number of seconds. You have to go to the Off position then back to On.
Go get yourself a fuel pressure gauge and watch what happens when you
start and when the engine is turned off. If it goes up, that's normal
if it falls down to 0 you have a leak in the regulator, check valve, or
a sticky injector. You can check the regulator by hooking up the gauge
and running the engine. Pull the vac line off the regulator and the fuel
pressure should jump 3-5psi. If it does then the regulator is probably
good and the problem is most likely your fuel pump. The check valve is
built into the fuel pump.
