Brake pedal judder problem

Recommended Posts

Since ive owned the car I have an abs issue. The abs light has been on there fore the abs has been disabled. Today I replaced the faulty abs sensor. And now when I come to a stop the brake pedal moves afew times - judders. This has never happened before. No juddering when driving. Just when coming to a stop. And only since the abs has been fixed. No abs light or warning triangle when this happens could anyone shed some light on the issue?

Mate I had that with mine a few years back one or more of your callipers is starting seize , I gave mine a refurb and all was good after .

what happens is where you press hard on the pedal to stop the pistons come out then as you ease off the other pistons come back but on one wheel they don't making the abs kick in

This mate, good answer from mellonman.

 

I've seen it a few times now on various cars, but Jspec brakes are notorious for seizing up.

If it;'s not a seized caliper (and it would have to be VERY seized to lock a wheel up at walking pace, and I am sure you would feel or hear it), it sounds like the ABS is kicking in as it comes to a stop due to a sensor error. I think you can pull the ABS codes from it. If you have a decent garage nearby ask them to scope all 4 ABS sensor outputs at the ABS ecu behind the dash, whilst driving very slowly and driving over 30 MPH.

Still sounds like no, or a corrupted sensor signal. a scope would show the problem very quickly. Does no one else use a scope on cars except me??? Even YouTube has loads of examples of what to do and what you should see. There must be a garage near you that has a scope and someone that knows how to use it, surely? You could have access to the ecu ready to save time. Brake tester will create the necessary signals, no need to even drive it, probably.

Ok I did abit more invest following;image

 

Comes up with code 71, 31, 36

All points to front right wheel. Having just replaced that abs sensor I'll have to check the reluctor ring and see if the connector is ok. A corroded connector vehicle side could disrupt the signal I guess and induce some resistance to the circuit?
