My Abs Is Bunged!

[SoFreshSoClean]

Hey all,

Well about a week ago my ABS warning light came on in my R33 GTS25t. I thought it must just be the pads need replacing, as I know they were getting low. Anyway, I've had a look and the pads seem ok for now, so I thought I'd try an emergency brake. The wheels locked up, so my ABS is caput...

Brake fluid level is fine..

Could it be wheel speed sensor related, or is it the actual ABS unit? If so how much are parts to replace/repair? I don't know a whole lot about this..

Cheers

Yo guys, I had exactly the same prob with my ABS.

Checked fuses, I've got PFC so i couldnt check diagnostics.. Checked sensors, everything. Ended up being a busted ABS module (The thing in the top right of your engine bay with all the lines running into it)

I got a replacement off someone on SAU for $80, and got a brake place to fit it (cost about $50).. Good as new!!

Just make sure to check the model number of the replacement before you buy it! Keep an eye out for wrecking R33 threads, and post a WANT TO BUY ad in the WANT TO BUY section

Good luck!
