Well..in my "other" thread I thought I had my ABS nightmare figured out :nonod: Yes, I was a fool and spent $300 clams on new wheel sensors. (guess I won't have to worry about them for a while). Yes perhaps at this point in the game it's my EBCM, however being retired I have more time then cash to pick at it a bit longer before I hang myself. :ack:
Anyways..for any of you who claims they have a ABS/Brake intermittant indication, here's some work-on tips before you run out and spend some cash!
Problem: Both ABS/Brake light indications come on "anytime" IE on the go or at idle. (foot off brake or on brake makes no differance). When ever I re-started veh...indications are cleared until next cycle. Have "no" pump running sound......as yet anyways!
What "I" know: ABS indication only perhaps means:
ABS Light: IE Bad hubs, Sensors, Wire shorts/Connections and EBCM failure.
Brake Light: Low fluid, E Brake on, Brake "system" failure.
What I don't know When both are on....which one is priority..IE A Brake problem shuts down the ABS or a ABS (EBCM) problem informs of a brake problem lighting that indication :confused2:
What I have done!
1. Checked 60A fuse and cleaned...also brake fuse.
2. Cleaned Hub surface and installed "new" sensors...lights will even come on when parked at idle after 5 min or so.....so I would think it has nothing to do with the wheel end.. IE bad hubs, bad tune ring!
3. Broke & cleaned all contectors including: EBCM, Pump, Sensors.
4. Cleaned,Grinded & re-installed all frame grounds including: L Front bumper to battery, firewall to block, EBCM ground and rear body ground by gas tank.
5. Checked brake fluid res and sensor.
6. Looking for shorts to get lights "on" I Rattled the "piss" out of all wires but my own :smilielol:
7. Checked all brake lights and bulbs... (why not did every other thing)
Therefore...I'm runing out of ideas. I was going to buy a Tech 2 reader..however they don't read any ABS codes (if any)..(go figure). :skep:
So "anyways" in a small package if someone has a problem..you could try a few tips as stated.....unless your in the same boat as me.......EBCM????????????? I'm just sure even with a code if "I" bought one it still wouldn't be the problem....(that's my luck)...yeh, I know....just pull the fuse and forget it even happened.
Anything to "add" just let me know.....CHEERS, Jim
