I have high pressure cleaned the engine bay and under the guards and these lights are now on. I have adequate fluid and I have removed both front sensors and cleaned them. What else can cause these to stay on?

I also disconnected the plug to the brake booster and this made no difference. Is there a way to reset the abs?

I need this resolved by next Saturday as it is the first track day of the year. Yes I still use ABS on the track and I wish to continue doing so.

On a separate note if anyone needs a small radiator overflow bottle a KC laser is the perfect donor and sits right above where the intercooler pipe goes through from the turbo.
 
maybe check the plugs under/near the lhf guard where the abs modulator is, they may have some water in them?
 
Checked cleaned and filled with wd40. There was no water present. I am guessing I am going to have to follow each wire back and see what I can find or hope it drys out.
 
yep, the hub ones, check the rings on the shafts are clean too, short of that Im out of ideas sorry luke
 
Open the brake fluid reservoir lid and dangle the internal float up and down a few times, then check if the light is still on.
I know a similar thing happened to me once and I was too busy looking everywhere else for an answer.
I facepalmed myself afterwards :)
 
I don't appear to have a float. Potentially it is located beneath the initial top of the reservoir.
 
How do you test a abs sensor on this model lancer and what should the Ohm reading be?

Should I see power to the ABS sensor plug when the the car is at accessories or will it need to be going?
