anti lock brakes are a whole nother class in auto repair college. if you do your own break jobs, make sure you open the bleeder valves when compressing the calipers. the main reason for the anti-lock trouble light coming on is people doing there own brakes and pushing the brake fluid back into the master cylinder. the second most common problem is that a sensors on the wheels is either dirty or malfunctions. to check anything on these systems, you need a code reader for anti-lock brakes. you also need it to reset the dash light if it stays on. when the system activates, it sounds and feels like something is terribly wrong with the brakes. there is not. if the system ever fails, the brakes will work normally, so need to worry if it fails. one more thing--it is expensive to fix anything wrong with the system, and best left to the professional who has the proper equipment and training.

Does your gadget have a separate electric powered pump to fee the accumulator on the passenger part. Key on, engine off, pump the brake pedal continually. Does a pump come directly to fee the accumulator? If any of above, you have the Bendix gadget. It,,no longer the accumulator or hoses, are assured for existence. no longer helpful on the 1991 whilst they replaced over to extra cutting-edge gadget, yet 1990 and lower back i'm particular! playstation I additionally lost the hose between the pump and grasp cylinder and it did no longer fee $six hundred!!!

Most of the time it is a wheel sensor that has gone bad, or just picked up to much metal from the brake pads and rotors. They have a magnet inside of them and eventually go bad. Also depends on what kind of car.

Which time? Most problems occur with a damaged/bad sensor. Most times on the passenger side front tire. Best have it scanned (at auto zone or some place like that) and they will tell you exactly what is wrong.
