A permanently lit ABS light on a Mazda CX-5 II often points to a wheel speed sensor or its wiring. Here’s how to narrow it down and whether you can keep driving.
Why the ABS Light Stays On
When the ABS light stays on continuously, the system has detected a fault and stored a trouble code. On a Mazda CX-5 II the most common trigger is a wheel speed sensor at one of the wheels. The sensor monitors rotation via a tone ring, and if its signal is missing or erratic, the ABS module lights the warning lamp.
