Abs ... Can Any Brake Specialist/mechanic Fix?

[Scooby_Steve]

Hi,

I've had an ABS problem with my car (the actual fault is that the rear brake solenoid is faulty) however i have asked several mechanics if they could fix and three (including a brake specialist) have said that i would have to take it to Nissan to fix... so the question is??

Do you guys think nissan would be able to resolve this problem as the r32 onward skylines are imports?? or do you think import mechanics can resolve this (hopefully someone who works on imports can help out here).

I've already called my local nissan and they said they can not give a guarantee.

So if anyone can help, it would be great. thanks

Steve

by rear brake solenoid do you mean wheel speed sensor

the only component in the ABS system that has solenoids in it, is the ABS unit itself

if its a wheel speed sensor then its easy and anyone can fix it

if its the ABS unit you will need to replace the whole thing and take it to nissan were if they have the right equipment, they will need to perform the bleeding procedure using the diagnostic computor

its all pretty easy i dont know why they are making it sound so hard

Hi,

The scantool computer that was used to connect to the ECU displayed rear brake solenoid faulty on the LCD and we could not clear this code. So, i dont know if it means rear speed sensor or not..

thanks drft33, i appreciate your help.

generaly if there is a problem with the abs unit the term "fix" means replace. sadly there is no easily servicable parts inside.

thanks guys...

any of you guys know where i may be able to get one (if it is needed after i take and get my abs checked out)???

Question along similar lines - if the R32 ABS fails, is it possible to replace with the faster acting R33 block?

Hi,

I've taken my car to an auto electrician and all sensor give back data but the pump relay and motor work intermittently. I've noticed that one of my relays has a rattle so i would say that the coil inside has broken and thus this relay needs replacing. i've find a site that sells this exact relay (in australia as well) which is good, but would it be as simple as an auto electrician de-soldering the old one and re-soldering the new one on?

I've also asked nissan if they sold this relay only and they said NO. you have to buy the who ABS unit which is ..... wait .... $3750 ex GST from Japan....

so hope this helps.. will keep this post updated so that it can be a referenced later on (if it helps)

i believe a sparky would be able to source a new relay. it is a seperate part.
