hodge Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 a mate of mine has braking problems with his supra. slowing down isnt a problem but when he's almost at a stop the abs seems to kick in and the pedel will judder. He has changed the discs and pads but it has made no difference at all. any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Sounds as if the wheel-speed sensor thinks one or some of the wheels have stopped turning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr keef Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 mine didnt store a code either and it was the abs ring on the drive shaft..replaced the ring now its fine..mind you the rings cant be bought seperate,he can pull the abs fuse to stop the judder until he gets it sorted.

Also heard of this happening when mechanics unwittingly damage the ring. Hope it's sorted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ill pull the fuse for him and inspect the ring. is there any tell tale signs to look for apart from damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ill pull the fuse for him and inspect the ring. is there any tell tale signs to look for apart from damage. mine looked rusty and corroded....its like andy said if someone has been working there like changing the bearing or something they can often damage it.

hodge Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Cheers Keef. I'll check it out for him. So he will have to buy a drive shaft with the ring attatched if its damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 g/f's clio did this and It was caused by the ABS ring on the CV joint being split and slipping around the shaft. A new ring shouldnt be too expensive from Mr T just a pain to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molak Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I beleive the error codes ( if a abs sensor is gone or ring then it wont store a code because it thinks there is no problem and the wheel has stopped turning hence why its juddering the pedal. and before people say driveshaft how do you no its the rear?! sensors will need to be checked with a multimeter, can talk you thro this is you want?

molak Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just a thought but he is getting the normal ABS light when he turns the ignition on isn't he ? the light will be normal because the abs doesnt no theres a problem and it obviously thinks its skidding when comming to a stop hence why the abs is kicking in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
