ABS kicking in?
situation: snow on the ground...or well..it's winter here... and sometimes when i brake. i get this crunching .//maybe metal on metal grinding sound. and the car slides a bit. before it stops.
i dont know if the ABS light is supposed to come on when the ABS kicks in. it doesn't for me. and the back light for the ABS light does work. i see it on when i put the car to "on". my brother says that it is the ABS because i am using winter tires./ . or is it that i am having some brake malfunction? anyone have the same thing? input would be appreciated.

The ABS makes weird crunching noises.
If it's accompanied by crunchy feedback in the brake pedal and stopping, it is working just fine. (: Could you explain a little more clearly the issue with your dash lights? The amber/orange ABS light should not turn on unless the ABS system has a problem at which point it will be completely electronically disabled.

yeah that doesn't make sense does it?
ok...i just read my own message.
but all the dash lights are working properly. so all the lights come in when i turn the ignition to "on"...that's all..no burnt out bulbs. is that better or just as bad?

as long as it only does this when the wheels are 'locking up-or on the 'verge' of locking up), you don't sound like you've got anything to worry about. I would check my pad thickness and fluid level anyway though Cheers Sixpack |
