Jetour X70 ABS Light Stays On? Here's What Your Mechanic Would Check

Why Your Jetour X70's ABS Light Stays On

When the ABS light stays lit continuously, the system has detected a fault and disabled anti-lock braking. The most common culprit on the X70 is a dirty, damaged, or failed wheel speed sensor. These sensors monitor each wheel's rotation and send that data to the ABS module. If one sensor drops out, the module logs a code and turns on the warning light. Other possibilities include a broken tone ring, corroded connector, chafed wiring, or a low battery voltage that upset the module.

What to Check First

Start with a scan tool that reads ABS codes — guessing wastes time. If you don't have one, a mechanic can pull the exact code in minutes. Then inspect the following, in this order:

• Wheel speed sensors: Look for metal debris stuck to the sensor tip, cracked housing, or exposed wires. The front sensors are usually easier to reach.
• Sensor connectors and harness: Check for water intrusion, corrosion, or rubbing against suspension parts.
• Tone rings: A cracked or heavily rusted ring can give a bad signal even if the sensor is fine.
• Battery and charging system: Low voltage can trigger false ABS faults on many modern cars, including the X70.

Is It Safe to Keep Driving?

You can usually drive short distances at low speed, but your anti-lock braking is disabled. That means the wheels can lock during hard braking, especially on wet or loose surfaces. The regular brakes still work, so you're not completely without stopping power — but you lose a critical safety net. If the brake warning light is also on, or the pedal feels strange, stop driving and get it checked immediately. Otherwise, book a diagnostic scan soon. A simple wheel speed sensor replacement is often inexpensive and restores full ABS function.
