No. Once you solve the problem the light will extinguish when you start and drive the vehicle, like normally does.

The problem could be:

- the sensor not near enough to the CV joint outer splines

- it got disconnected

- one or both wires got broken in the jacket where they exit the ABS sensor.

Try tapping the ABS sensor gently with a hammer

If that doesn't work try removing the sensor and cleaning it

As stated,when the wheeel speeds exceed 7kmh the self test should confirm good signals and the lamp should go out.The fault will be stored by the Ecu when it is read,but the ABS should function normally.This means the ABS lamp will just remain illuminated at key 2 rather than blink off after 2.5 secs for .5 sec then stay on till the car gets to 7kph.
