Tom - ABS light is now out

Post by Snafu »

Just to let you know that my ABS light is now out. I blasted the front end with water but the light remained on. I pulled the sensor and blasted the ring with water (lots of guck in there). I removed the tires so I could turn the rotor while spraying water in the hole. I made it about 50' down the road when the light went out.

I did the same thing Ron, I always take my wheels off & clean all of the brake components after a run. It always seems to clear the abs light afterwards.

After having serviced the rear brakes yesterday I don't think just taking off the wheels and pressure washing the brake assembly cleans them out nearly enough. Once I removed the brake callipers I could see a whole lot of other debris that had accumulated in the brake calliper assembly that the pressure washer didn't remove. After having removed the rear rotors there was a whole other mess of debris inside the parking brake assembly that no pressure washer would ever be able to remove without removing the rotors.
Watch it! I'm keeping my eye on you.
