My "abs brakes" is tripping out!

[flex]

hi guys!

recently, my 1996 R33 Series 2 started having some issues with the abs breaks.... when my engine is on, the dash shows the "abs" light... which i'm assuming, means something wrong. have any of you guys experienced this? or now what this means?

i'm totally lost when it comes to abs brakes. thanks alot guys, appreciate any help and advice.

check your power steering fluid

ABS and power steering??? :uhh: :confused:

sure power steer and brake fluid use the brake warning light, atessa fluid too in a gtr

Is your ABS actually working? drive along an empty road and hit the brakes hard....do they lock up or pulse?

seems like my ABS is working fine, it locks up when my car tries to skid. My power steering and brake fluid are both filled to the brim, and i seem to still have the "abs" light flashing on the dash board. Maybe its an electrical problem?

they shouldn't be locking up........ABS should make it pulse to stop the car skidding to enable a shorter stopping distance with more grip.

ah serious? then it must mean my abs brakes have failed... is there any place you guys can recommend me to get it fixed? since, i'm a noob at abs...

:Oops:

i did another abs brake test today on the streets, and my abs doesn't work, have any of you guys every encounter such a problem?

a local abs specialist should be able to check/fix it I would have thought

its probably a fairly stocker abs system, like the aussie spec nissan cars with abs

try www.autobrakeservice.com.au which is ABS

id be highly suprised if they cant check/fix it

thanks for the advice! I gave them a call today, and seems like they can't fix my car. They told me to go to my Nissan dealership to get the car scanned :kick: to see what the specific problem is. do you guys know what they are talking about? all I know is that I have to brake harder for my car to stop because it by passes the abs system. any help would be so much appreciated
