I noticed tonight a red light flashed up on my dash and was just wondering what it was,

I didn't have time to look to see what it was, it just flashed once as I was hard under brakes in the wet

and the only thing I could think of was that it might be a light for abs the red light flashed up over

on the right side near where the oil and battery light is,

but mine is only a series 1.5 If thats what you call them its a late 95 model so has series 2 spoiler and such,

I didn't think these had abs can anyone tell me if series 1.5 had abs? how can you tell

Iv'e had my car all locked up before when braking so don't know? if its not abs light what else could it be?

any ideas?

In answer to topic title, if you have ABS, the car won't like up like made under hard braking, and the pedal will pulsate under hard braking.

You can also check the lines running from your brake master cylinder and trace where they run, if they run into another unit before going to the calipers you have ABS. If they run straight to the calipers from the BMC, you do not have ABS. OR easier still, if you have two lines coming out of your BMC you have ABS, if you have three lines you do not have ABS.

i had an R33 for about 2 months (loaner) and a light flashed on every time i braked hard. turns out it was the oil pressure dropping........

but check oil level, brake fluid level and probably PS fluid level. its probably moving and the sensor thinks its too low as it all gets pushed to the front

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
