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

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!)

Cheers

Steven

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

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

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
