I had a similar issue years ago.

Apparently the gap between the sensor and the toothed ring is too big, resulting in poor sensor functionality.

I never got around to fileing down the appropriate area (most likely the seating area of the sensor) to bring it closer to the ring on the shaft.

My issues may have led to an accident that totaled the car ...

so how close is it soppose to be to the ring? and what can i do about a brake flush with the abs pump still on and no abs? cause from what i hear ill have air in the pump......

 

As far as the correct spacing, I don't know since I don't remember where I put my Helms manual, but it would need to be closer.

It should still be possible to flush/bleed the brake fluid, as Steve Sakai was able to do mine with this situation and the JDM axles back when I still had my first ITR.

Other than that, I got nothing!

Good luck.

 

what code is the abs throwing?

 

no code just the abs light is on

 

and would ne one know how to take the srs light off both airbags are hooked up i know a lil off topic

Just makeing sure I'm reading this correctly. You've tried to check for the abs codes but you don't get any? Just because the CEL isn't on doesn't mean you wont get any abs codes.

 

bleeding the lines isn't going to do anything.

When you clear an ABS code/replace a part/etc, you MUST drive the car over 7mph for the light to turn off. You can replace every single ABS component in your car, but without driving, the light will never stay off.

Take your car out of the garage and see if the light shuts off

 

i have been driving it and still the abs light is on how can i erase the code then? i tought if i hooked up the sensors it would go away like it did b4 but went for a test drive and it came back on

 

HEY BOBO!
SEARCH!

you will find many threads on resetting your ABS and SRS lights. the SRS is kind of tricky, but i'm sure you can manage, son son!

oh, and btw...before you try to ERASE the code, you should maybe find out WAT the code is...

you do that the same way you check your CEL codes.
