ABS Again

[Raver_Ace]

Hi all,

I remeber a thread about a week ago about ABS. Now someone mentioned an ABS light on the dash.

I have a 96 SII GTST, which apparently has ABS. On the Japanese auction report mentions ABS, etc, etc.

Now, i have no ABS light i can see come on. I have HICAS, ENGINE, Etc, etc.

Is there any way I can check if it has abs without slamming the breaks on while driving? anyone got a photo of the abs module in the engine bay?

Cheers,

Ace.

ABS module is on the right near the top of the firewall. Its a big metal thing with lots of little metal pipes going into the top. I only just found out what it looked like the other week myself, as mine is a series1.

There is also a control computer under your centre console glovebox

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but can someone provide a picture of the ABS module?

I don't have an ABS light on the dash but in the fuse box under the bonnet i have the 2x abs fuses plugged in - Just wondering if this car has ABS (1995 s1.5 (i think) R33, driver airbag, higher wing etc) but maybe the dash has been changed at one stage?

Or in non-ABS cars, do they just give you the ABS fuses cause they are feeling generous?

I might have to slam on the brakes to see if they lock up but I guess if I had a picture of the module I can visually inspect whether ABS is there or just spare fuses plugged into the ABS slot

Thx

If the rain ever stops, I will take a photo of my ABS unit thing in the engine bay and post it, if I can figure it out how do to that...

Here a pic of my ABS assembly from an R32, but I would imagine the R33's wouldn't look much different.

Hay mate, it also same happan to me, my car 96 GTST also doesn't have ABS as well.

If u wanted to know whether u have ABS or not , u can take ur car to the garage to ask. Or try it by urself, simply drive about 60Kms, and then totally stop the car, repeat it fews times. If the wheel didn't knock while u were braking. Then u has got a ABS. But if ur wheels is locking, that mean u doesn't have ABS. Hope it could help.( If i'm wrong, plz correct me!)

there's really an easier way guys....just pop your bonnet and have a look.......look for the ABS module similar to the one cobo_11 posted...it'll be in the upper right corner of the engine bay:D

Thx Cobo!

Ahh... lol something that huge would be hard to miss!

Well since I have a nice big gap of air there I guess theres no ABS!

Oh well, now I have two spare 30A fuses

you cant miss the ABS unit...it is a chunk of metal, silver in colour, with many brake pipes coming out of it, and is located on the passenger side against the firewall.

guys as everyone here has seemed to mention...just pop ur damn hood up and see if u have a big metal block with 4 or so pipes commin out in the upper l/h corner of ur car. or just look at ur firewall at the back of the engine block...if u have two small metal pipes runnin along there then u dont have abs...but if u have 4 then u have abs...now all u have to do is follow these 4 pipes that will lead u to the big metal block which is the mysterious abs module thingy mah jig that no one can seem to find. go out now and have a look before u forget:D:D
