ABS shaking everytime I press brake pedal since rear wheel bearing change
Hello Guys,
Since I changed my rear wheel bearings some months ago, I noticed my ABS is activating every single time I brake. First the ABS light came on so I added some spacers to reduce the distance between the ABS sensors and the target crown. after that, the ABS light does not come on but I feel the ABS pump is activating each time I brake, right at the point when I release a little the pressure on the brake pedal. During summer, to avoid this anuance, I removed the big fuse of the ABS pump, but now, in winter, with all this ice, I need my ABS back so I replace the fuse and the problem araised again. Do you think one of my ABS sensor was damaged during the bearing replacement process? Any comment will help. Thanks. |

If you have a lot of rust, the part which looks like cogs on a gear which the sensor looks at, may be corroded to the point that the sensor can't detect the gaps in-between. (don't know it's name)

I call it "the target crown". And no, there's no rust there. I actually add spacers to make it closer to the sensor and it s better, but still annoying.

Re: ABS shaking everytime I press brake pedal since rear wheel bearing change
Have the same on mine, when i am on the track.
The first hard/full brake, then the ABS light came on, and if i stop the car and start it again, Then the ABS light i gone. And i have had some vibration when i have the foot on the brake pedal when i stop the car (engine running) is it abs sensor. I will take a diagnose but the car is in jack stand now. hehe
