Re: abs out?

does it stay on or just pop on for a few minutes after some burnouts?



if so you are probably just fecking with the ABS computer.... ABS kicks in when any of the wheels is spinning faster then others... Like when the rears are spinning faster then the fronts(like in a burnout)

Re: abs out?

Mine does the same thing after I do breakstands or donuts. It will come on and stay so I'll shut the car off then restart it but as soon as I start moving it will stay on again. It seems to go away for good after a day or so but comes back as soon as I feel like doing something stupid again.

Re: abs out?

Same thing happens on a chassis dyno. Appearently, when the ABS controller sees a high rear wheel speed and little or no front wheel speed but not braking, it assumes there's a problem and turns the ABS off.

I always get this on the chassis dyno. Once I restart before backing off the dyno, the light goes out and all's well.

My guess is, with the ABS on later F-cars, "ABS Inop" is not the same as "Service ABS"
