it started yesterday on the way to the Eagle Rock meet. i was on the 2 fwy, gunned it. i was on 3rd gear 6500 rpm, when the abs light flashed and went on and off the brakes (thats w/o me steppin on the brakes at all). it did the same thing when i was on 1st gear right before it hits redline. i decided to reset the ECU and the ABS unit, unhooked the battery. no changes . normal driving is ok. cant really diagnose it because its not throwin a check engine light. need HELP!!!!! LMK if you guys have any idea on how to fix this.


i did a search, but for some reason its not givin me anything (archived).

 

help!!! losin sleep over this... please!

 

need answers, please... help!

 

paaaaawwwt!

What trouble code does it have stored?

 

it just flashed twice and braked (jerked). some times the abs lights would stay on for a while. but the next time i start the car it was already gone.

 

you can still pull the code. it keeps it in memory y0!

 

i just took it to the dealer to get it scanned. they found nothin stored in the memory. i now owe $45 for nothin, lol. aint that a bioooootch!

Has the light come on since you reset it?

 

why couldn't you pull your own damn code? paper clip too expensive for you?

 

right front wheel speed sensor do a resistance test to check for a open in the wss

yes, when it brakes on its own it would stay on for a good 5 seconds. it happens most of the time when im on high rpm or when im making a turn on 2nd gear.

how do i do a resistance check? "for a open in the WSS" like a crack/visible damage?

i tried unpluggin the ABS unit. drove it w/o the abs, seems like its dragging. it felt like i was driving w/ the e brakes not all the way down.
thanks for all your help, i really appreciate it

Your sig says DC, so it's an Integra? Check the sticky at top of Integra forum 'ECU codes' or whatever it's called. The ABS error code lists changes with years & models, so ??

A broken wire is an 'open circuit' which will measure infinitely high resistance. Don't bother doing this until you read the ABS error code. If it's the code for the right-front wheel sensor then you can check it out.

edit...
OK they changed it all around since I haven't been to the Integra forum awhile. It's linked off the FAQ sticky. Here it is. Scroll down to ABS codes.

She's a '96 integra.

problem is i dont know how to retrieve the code. Dealer came up w/ no code either... thanks for the link!

 

The link says how to retrieve the code, along with the error code lists. I know it covers '96 Integra...

 

ill try to retrieve codes as soon as i get the car back... good lookin out homie!

*EDIT* no codes retrieved
it looks normal, doesn't light up until i reach either high rpm or turning on 2nd gear...

the dealer told me there was nothing they can do coz i have a different ECU on there. he said it had nothin to do w/ the brakes. for some reason, the motor cuts off when im makin a turn on 2nd gear or sometimes in high rpms...

The engine cuts off? Is that the same time the ABS light comes on?

 

^^^ yes, same time. it only comes on for a good second though...sometimes the "maintenance req'd" light comes on too. don't really understand why...

Do you have a big ol wad of keys swinging around? Try taking the ignition key off the ring and driving with it by itself. Does it still act up?

 

i dunt think thats the problem, it just started doin it. i've been driving it along w/ the other keys w/o problems before. i'll try it anyway n let you know...

it wasnt the keys... any more ideas?

 

help!

 

problem solved! it wasn't teh brakes. it was cutting of fuel. changing the fuel filter fixed teh problem. the ABS light goin on n off is still a mystery. nothin major though. thanks for all the help!!!
