Hi all

I was wondering if someone can help me out with a issue im having.

My abs light has turned on. I have checked all fuses and they seem fine.. Checked under the car if the sensors are loose etc..

Dont know what else to check really.. Oh done the slam the brakes and try and lock up thing.. abs didnt work or kick back in..

SO

I was wondering if i could borrow the consult cable or if i can come to you?

Will be greatly apprieacted. Probably wont take long. Just need to find the error code.

Thanks all

I had the same problem. Bought a second hand ABS pump off the forums and put it in. Problem solved.

Consult cable should tell you the exact cause though. Sensors going bad is another common cause I think.

I had the same problem. Bought a second hand ABS pump off the forums and put it in. Problem solved.

Ohh really? Whered you get a 2nd pump from?

I will check the sensors first.. Well i will see what the error codes are first and go from there

How mcuh was the pump anyways?

From my hazy memory it was $80 or so

Edit: Yep... just looked it up:

Supposedly from what that guy said in that thread they are $4500 new... I find that hard to believe... Maybe the whole kit is, but not just the pump/motor!

I will check my error code first.. then check if its the relay..

If not, then will try and source a pump thingy.. You got a pic of this btw?? What does it look it lol

I have access to a 33 gtr abs unit lol.. If worst comes to worst will this fit into my car? lol

It looks like this (circled)

It's that whole unit.

Surely you'll be able to find one in one of the wrecking threads, or post up a WTB thread. Get the error code before you go to too much trouble though. It could just be a dirty sensor!

Yep, thats the abs "module". I -think- it incorporates the hydraulic motor (or "pump" if you want to call it that) as well.

That unit circled is the bit that I bought for $80. I chucked it in and my ABS light disappeared so that whole unit was the problem in my case.

This is exactly what was written on the invoice for the brake place I took mine too when they diagnosed the fault:

"Scan ABS Module for fault codes. Code 21 - ABS Motor. Checked ABS wheels sensors for operation, all ok on current data. Suspected faulty ABS motor unit"

Ah that makes sense.. just wasnt sure what you meant by pump..

I will try and get the error code first and see how i go!!

Just happened out of know-where.. Turned on the car one night to go home (been raining that day and previous day) and the light came on..

Could be coz of the rain.. making the sensors go faulty.. hmm

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
