Featured Replies

does not reset with ecu

fixed problem(sensor ring broke and destroyed sensor)

searching didnt lead to an answer

what exactly did you replace?

 

sensor itself + ring?

 

who did the installation?

 

and the silliest question of all... you did check your brake fluid level right? :)

Look at http://endwrench.com/images/pdfs/ABS.pdf and identify the ABS system - it's probably ABS 5.3. If so, try to find the diagnostic connector (B82, 6-pin, black color) and the two ground probes, usually taped to the harness in the lower dash area above the brake pedal. If you get that far, the PDF tells how to reset the ABS ECU. If the instructions aren't clear (such as pin numbering), someone can probably post a diagram.

jamie, just so you know

 

i replaced the ring and sensor on driverside, myself

i do ALL my own work

 

and the fluid level was good, i did also replace all 4 rotors and pads

and then bleed the whole thing

untill it bleed clear at all 4 corners

 

i also rebuilt the 2.5l , rebuilt the 4eat becouse the 4wd was chunked

new header and cats, new o2's, new cluster, speed sensor

 

stil has an issue with the speedo

that is a different post though

excellent

 

it probably took a drive cycle to clear the code is all....

 

ABS system can be a tricky one to work on and work with

 

sounds like you did great! :)
