Hey guys. Ive been experiencing this issue for about 1 year. Its really getting on my nerves now.

Heres the deal. I can drive forever in a day and all the sudden my ABS light will light up. Im like, cool, maybe itll go away? Well, it doesnt. Only way itll go away is if I turn the car off for a long period of time.

Here is what I also notice. The ABS motor behind the passenger light always "buuuuzzzes." Maybe in a period of 10 minutes, it'll buzz twice. I checked the fluid and all is fine. Can anybody help me out?

 

Wheel sensor is my guess.

 

So is it a big myth that the ABS unit can be bled? Also tire condition and alignment may influence that a bit if it is causing less then ideal traction.

sackdz-who bets yoshi would have tried it if it worked.

 

ABS unit bled....hmmmm....anyone have more information on this?

 

My ABS comes on under light to medium breaking in straights and round corners. I had a fault ABS sensor which came up under the fault codes but this problem continues even after having it replaced.

I think my faulty sensor was damaged when my TEIN suspension was fitted but that's been replaced and I've even tried fitting back the original suspension only to find the the problem still exists. ABS ****

 

if you have a warranty go to the dealer! Stop having to deal with it.

 

mine does the same thing. gets better when i add fluid. keep me posted on your situation.

 

If the ABS is coming on during light braking it could be that one of the teeth on the driveshaft is damaged. It happens all too often when some hack gets their hands on an ABS equipped vehicle. Inspect all of the teeth on your driveshafts for any irregularities.
As for the first problem that was posted, your ABS modulator may be leaking internally. When the ABS modulator leaks internally, it bleeds off the high pressure, and when the pressure drops below a set value, the ABS pressure switch signals the ABS ECU to run the pump. If your car is still under warranty, get it fixed now! ABS modulators are big$$$.

 

Car is out of warranty. New axles. *shrug*

 

try adding more flid. my light came on and i did that and it went away.

 

The problem I have is the ABS comes on too early, somebody say I can take the ABS fuse out to disable it, but no one can tell me which fuse to take out

 

Thats an easy one. There should be a small electrical box by the ABS unit on DC2. Going by your nick I dont know what car you have? But yeah, just pull the fuse/relay.

 

I have a DC2, but the ABS fuse box has more than 4 fuses
