So hey my ABS is making a weird noise everytime I start the car. I hear you can take it off but I would have to change the braking system. Anyone have any input on this?

 

The abs motor makes some a humming/buzzing noise which is normal.

 

it sounds like its a starter going bad which annoys me lol what all needs to be replaced if I take the abs off... i mean its not like its working. Yellow ABS light has been on since i bought the car..

 

it's because it is low on fluid and is trying to build up pressure it takes it a lot longer when it's low. i would fill and bleed it and see how it goes.

My 96 DB8 did that when I bought my car. ABS light was on and the buzzing noise of the ABS trying to pressurize every time i started the car. I added fluid to the ABS reservour and it stopped. I would suggest starting there.

 

Thats interesting, I can hear my ABS pressurize when I start my car, but I assumed it was normal. Although all my brake fluid looks fine, in the reservoir and in the ABS unit. My friend with a '96 3.2TL has problems with his ABS unit, it keeps trying to pressurize, but supposedly its common for an O-ring to go out in them causing them to lose pressure, and thats basically what his ABS code says.

 

oh wow didnt know this. what kinda fluid goes in the abs? and what if its full? thanks.

 

haha brake fluid dude. and those old abs modulators setups suck.

 

lol i dont care much for the abs. i just want the pressurizing sound to go away. so add some brake fluid and should be fine?

 

Does it have the tiny little fill hole like the older integras? Is there a way around that to fill em?
