gsac132 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 i have a 99 suby forester with a abs light on the brakes are definately acting really funny!I was wondering how to troubleshoot the brake that was causing the problem,I heard a noise coming from the front right wheel but didnt want to guess at it so i decided to ask if there is a way to pin point the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unibrook Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Try to clean the ground wire eyelet/bolt coming out of the wire harness at the ABS modulator. Someone advised cleaning off the corrosion on this ground, and it worked for me. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=131070&highlight=abs+horn Edited October 19, 2012 by unibrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 There's some leads you can jumper depending on the ABS style to get it to flash out the code(s), then you can tell what problem it is seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Clean all the wheel speed sensors. If they are not perfectly cylindrixal in shape, they can give false readings. I too am having this issue now, just too lazy to look at it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocei77 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Check the tone ring on the wheel where you have the noise. Have the same issue with daughter's Forester. She took it to a "mechanic" and they broke it putting in a ball joint. Was pulsing like crazy. I just pulled the fuse, until she has it replaced. She doesn't want them to fix it, even though they acknowledge busting it. Tho they din't tell her before I found the source of the problem! O.

nipper Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 In all fairness to the shop, tone rings break all the time when work is done as they tend to be brittle. She should go back to the shop and work out a deal. I have when it has happened to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
