ABS light on--How to Reset.

[z3forfun]

While I was letting my '97 Z3 1.9 warm up after replacing the radiator the ABS light came on. I still have one front tire off and had removed each tire to just inspect and clean. I did not change or remove anything. How can I reset this? Disconnect the neg. battery cable? Drive it up to at least 15mph? I appreciate all suggestions. Thanks.

First move is to put a code reader on it to see what code has been set suspect you might find one of the speed sensors on a wheel has been upset when you had the wheels off. At least knowing the code should point you in the right direction. Once you make a note of the code clear it with the code reader then cycle the ignition and rescan to see if it comes back. Ideally the abs light should go out when you clear the code, it will come back on if the fault remains.

Thanks for the reply. I had an auto parts store run their scanner and did not get any messages about the ABS but did get one for the cam position sensor (lucky me!). After driving a bit the light went off so I don't think I have an issue.
