motocrossmad 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I have a 1996 highline with an odd (to me!) abs fault.If i get in and just rive it non stop the light stays off as it should, however the moment i come to a stop for more than a couple of seconds the light comes on and stays on!If i switch off the ignition for a couple seconds when the car is moving then back on again the light stays off untill the car stops again!When i have the faults pulled it says that it is the right rear sensor that is at fault, but being the third one in succession i'm sure it isn't!!Has anyone had this or can shed some light on it?thanks Link to post Share on other sites
shail 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I've had bogus rear ABS fault codes in the past, with the light randomly coming on then going off.My mechanic told me that dry/cracked solder joints on the ABS ECU can be to blame. He removed the ECU by 'tweaking' the metal pipes going into the ABS pump out of the way. He re-soldered some of the joints, which fixed the problem. Ive not had an ABS light on for about 2 years.
