ABS Light weirdness
My ABS light came on today, so I restarted the car, and about 30 seconds later it came back on... I did this for a few tims with the same results. I went to a gravel parking lot to test and see if the ABS was in fact non-functional, and it wasnt working. Then while driving, I turned the car off, and back on (at about 50mph in neutral) i slammed on the brakes right after I restarted the car, and no ABS light has come on since. Any ideas what could have happened?

My ABS light came on the other day after a very hard drive in very hard rain. When I parked in the garage, I heard the ABS pump(?) still running. I disconnected the battery and reconnected it and the problem seems to have gone away. I wonder if these occurrences are in any way related/similar. If it happens again, check to see if the pump stays running after the car is shut off.

good reply Mr.Pockets. I had the same trouble and a few knocks on the pump stopped everything.

Knocking the pump did nothing at the time. I haven't noticed the symptom since then and have no idea what caused it. I don't even know whether it was a transient thing or a sign of impending failure. I could have just pulled the fuse, but I wanted it to stop running while I found that fuse.
I will be keeping an eye on it. CJ |
