My gf's 99 GS ABS light is on. Is their a way to figure out which wheel has the bad sensor?

 

I am more of an OBD1 guy so I am a bit week with OBD2 cars. However I assume you can hook up to the datalink and scan for an ABS code. Scanners are cheap and you may as well use this as an excuse. But if you are cheep too you can just go to autozone or some other parts store and have them scan it for you. If you don't want to do that you can get yourself a helms service manual and follow the troubleshooting guide. Essentially it involves ohming out the individual pins/socket while the wheels are moving.

Good luck.

 

Okay...thanks!

 

Pull the ABS codes with a paperclip in the passenger kick panel jumper. It is the same jumper that is used to pull the CELs. Read the ABS light.

 

How do I find out what wheel sensor is bad though?

 

Do OBD2 cars have the same jumper plug as OBD1? If so then the ABS light will blink a certain pattern for each wheel sensor etc. According to my 94 integra helms service manual the codes for the wheel sensor errors are:

4 blinks followed by either 1, 2, 3, or 4 more blinks for FR, FL, RR, RL respectively.

 

The ABS computer will tell you which one has an issue with the codes.

 

The codes for 97 ITR and 98-01 Integras are different than 94-97 (non ITR), as they have different ABS units.

 

Because the ABS computer talks to me! What are you talking about. I'm just trying to use the paperclip method.

 

Jumper the diagnostic connector and read the ABS light for codes.

 

Well I just used a wire to throw the ABS light. The ABS light would flash once and pause than flash 5 times quick and sometimes it would flash 6 times quick. According to you guys the FR is 5 times and FL is 6 times? Is it possible both of the front sensors went bad at the same time? What would you suggest? It wouldn't always flash 6 times but it would always flash 5 times.
