Recently my ABS has been activating every time I come to a stop. The pump activates even when I go to park in my driveway. any ideas?

 

Somehow, you've lost a sensor but the computer hasn't picked up on it. Is the ABS light lit? You will probably have to check all of the sensors by reading their resistance. I'd have to pull my helm when I get home tonight to get you the exact value. Drop me a PM if no one else chimes in.

One other question, have you changed a CV joint lately?

 

The ABS light does not stay on however it does come up 2-3 times a drive and stays on for a min. or two. And no I have not changed a CV joint recently

 

It sounds like a hokey sensor. You will need to check the computer for codes. It works the same way as checking a CEL. The flashing sequence is a little different as it will flash a first number, then a second. As an example, you will get a "4" for a bad sensor, and the "1" for the left front (I'm guessing as I can't remember the exact codes). Get in touch and I will do my best to help when I can get to my Helm Manual.

 

Sounds good to me; good lookin' out man.

Thank you to everyone who gave me a piece of knowledge about my problem

 

Any luck?

 

It turns out it was being caused by a bad speed sensor, which was also affecting my speedometer. Thanks for the help man, killed to birds with one stone

 

Sorry you have to buy parts, but I'm glad to hear you've pinpointed the problem!

 

Hey it's not to bad, A family friend of mine is also my mechanic and it just so happens that he was nice enough to give me a brand new sensor, so I'm not bumming' out to bad haha. thanks for the knowledge however.
