First off sorry if this the wrong section. A week ago in my R32 GTS4 the ABS light on the dash went on and stays on all the time now when in 4WD. When i flick the switch into 2WD the light goes off. The brakes work fine, no noise, no fade and then switch back to 4WD and the light goes on again. Does ABS only work in 4WD? Is there something wrong with the ABS system? I can't read Japanese to check the fuses. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advance. :confused:

The fuse is in the fuse block down by your right knee. In Japanese, ABS is "ABS". :D

The switch you have for engaging 2WD is not a factory item, so there is no telling what effect it has on the ABS light working or not working.

Think I remember when mine was coming on it needed the brake fluid filled?

No maybe it was the AWD reservoir in the back???

Damn that's the trouble with getting old.

Anyway check them all....

Great thing about the GTS4 is you know when one of your tyres are going down slowly as the AWD starts coming in all the time;-)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
