ok i have no clue when it comes to abs but the light is on and pedal is hard to push! also i have a 94 ls i did a 01 gsr swap car sat in a barn for 3 or 4 years. Let me know what i should look for to solve this problem

 

check your fuses?
check your brake fluid reservoir?

 

when i took it to the exhaust shop they had said beside the fuel leak and couldnt do it, but dont blame them, but said wheel bearing was bad, would that affect the abs and make pedal hard or no?

 

is the car noticably pulling to one side?

 

no not that i know of felt great to me

 

Pull the ABS code like you would a CEL. That will tell you why the light is illuminated.

 

is it the same plug? as for ecu plug to get codes?, also i know i am gonna here about it but could i block off the back brakes since lines are rotted out all underneath? could use it as a b-day gift from mom's-hehe!!

Yes, it is the same plug.

Are these lines leaking now?

 

yes got home had some fluid, later on when i went out to car had no pedal now and no fluid, sen it was leaking at exhaust shop they said $1 per inch to replace it all and so wanna block it off til i can afford it done right. B4 i had a hard *** pedaland barely any brakes but still hard as hell

 

If it is leaking, you would expect for the pedal to sink when the brakes are applied. Have you checked your brake booster for functionality? The engine speed should increase slightly when the pedal is released and the car is idling. The bad booster could cause your hard pedal. The ABS codes may provide insight as well.

 

from what i could tell it just repeated a code 16 i think over and over and over

 

also would any thing i will need from a 01 gsr work or no i have a 94 ls but yes it does leak underrear of car just b4 it bends up in. and then bled right out so now that air is in system, I have a very soft pedal. i know if i pull off the hose the egine revs up!! but on testing anything else, i dunno new to this abs stuff
this is my first car with it

 

You are reading the ABS light? Are you sure it isn't code 61 for the front fail-safe relay?

The 94-97 (except ITR) and 98-01 brake lines are different.

Did the CEL blink at all to indicate that it was in diagnostic mode? You still read the ABS light for the ABS codes, but the CEL should respond as well.

 

nothing blinked at all

 

abs could be triggered by a number of things....mine is on for a period of time then it stays off sometimes also, im not going to bother with mine because when it is on im just figuring you may not have the antilock brakes, which doesnt bother me, and i heard the price can get pretty high to fix that problem.......

If the diagnostic connector is jumpered correctly, having the key in the run position will have the CEL and SRS lamps illuminated and the ABS lamp not illuminated if there are no stored codes. If the diagnostic connector is not jumpered, the CEL and SRS lamps are not illuminated and the ABS lamp is illuminated.

The only way to clear the ABS codes is to disconnect the battery or disconnect the ABS fuses in the underhood box near the ABS modulator (assuming 94-97).

 

i will try that then with the fuse, i talked to the guy i got chassis from and said light has been on for a while now but i gotta rep[lace both rear brake lines now b4 i can do anything else now

It is in your best interest to replace those lines.

 

ok I went to autozone to get brake line they and they said i needed japanese line cuz it was import but didnt know what style fittings i needed can any1 help me on this 1? and for the abs- the roommate of the guy i got car from said that the light had been on for a long time b4 the engine blew up. i tested all the fuses and they were good also

 

ok i replaced lines and they work but i also have ss lines and the pecdal is hard push like real hard but work, not good enouh thou. abs is on and ex-owner of car said it was pass-rear sensor was bad so i will try to get a new 1 next week. what do you guys think? is it normal i heard brakes are supposed to get harder but i dont think this hard!!
