ABS

scxc15 · March 16th, 2009, 01:06 AM

So for ahile now when I brake I hear a "clicking" noise and the pedal jumps on me. Short story is I found out it's something to do with the ABS system. Now my ABS light DOES NOT come on. I can removed the fuse for the ABS and everything operates normal as in no jumping pedal, but of course the ABS light then stays on. My question is...is it more like a wheel sensor of the actual ABS module? Anyone had this problem?

that jumping you are feeling is the abs module applying and releasing the brakes. how ever are you stepping on the brakes?

scxc15 · March 16th, 2009, 01:12 AM

So it is the module? Yea Im actually applying the brakes... it never happens unless im pressing the brakes...

F8L GT · March 16th, 2009, 01:13 AM

yes i do know that you are applying the brakes, the pulsing is the anti lock working. What im asking is how hard are you applying the brakes, does it do it at any pressure?

scxc15 · March 16th, 2009, 01:20 AM

Yes ANY pressure.

That sounds strange. one of your wheel speed sensors might be going to hell.

njstang · March 16th, 2009, 01:23 AM

kind of a dumb idea but check your brake fluid, also you may have a leak in a brake line, you could be loosing pressure when pressing on the brakes and therefore the abs is engaging. not sure if it could be it but its worth a shot i suppose

F8L GT · March 16th, 2009, 01:24 AM

nah, the abs wont do that with lose of fluid. it will only do that if it senses a tire locking up

njstang · March 16th, 2009, 01:25 AM

hmmmm....who needs abs anyway?! lol

F8L GT · March 16th, 2009, 01:26 AM

I almost disable mine when i did my 31 spline conversion. but then i decided to swap the abs rings.

scxc15 · March 16th, 2009, 01:27 AM

Only thing is everytime I've seen a sensor going bad/ or is bad the ABS would come on.... Thats why I was thinking it might be the actual module...

F8L GT · March 16th, 2009, 01:29 AM

What i would suggest is to bring in somewhere to get it checked. either that or pull the fuse and remove the bulb from the cluster.

scxc15 · March 16th, 2009, 01:31 AM

Someone told me AutoZone has a way of reading ABS codes that dont show up with an OBD2 reader.. anyone know id thats true? When you pull the fuse you loose your traction control too.. its kinda nice to have for a daily driver

F8L GT · March 16th, 2009, 01:34 AM

hell my TC hasnt been engaged since I bought the car

njstang · March 16th, 2009, 01:35 AM

i know autozone does it for free, im not sure if they can scan for ABS codes though, im sure it wouldnt hurt to give them a call or stop by. Sometimes there can be "hidden codes" that are there but dont trigger the CEL

F8L GT · March 16th, 2009, 01:35 AM

either that or unplug the module and remove the light

no CEL its an ABS light

scxc15 · March 16th, 2009, 01:36 AM

I mean Ive got an OBD2 Reader and it's not showing anything. I will give them a call tomorrow though and try to find out.

scxc15 · March 16th, 2009, 01:37 AM

SMS says F it and rip the S.O.B. out haha

njstang · March 16th, 2009, 01:38 AM

yeah i know but i was just refering to me seeing it happen with cels, i dont know if it is similar to a abs light or whatnot
