Yet Another ABS Problem...
 

ok i know i've posted something similar to this before but it seems my problem has returned.. back in febuary i had the ABS light on and was having really weird brake problems.. ie while driving on dry smooth pavement i would apply the brake sometimes and the ABS would engage for no reason at all.. the brake pedal would become almost rock hard.. and i had no stopping power.. because it was a new used truck i had just bought the dealer had it fixed and they said it was my passenger side wheel speed sensor.. so they replaced it with a new one.. problem solved

a month or two later the driver side wheel bearing went.. and i replaced that (not cheap lol) then had a wheel alignment done.. everything was fine.. now i've been told that when you usually get the ABS light problem it means you've got a bad wheel bearing.. don't know if this is true or not..

but i've got the same ABS problem as before.. only now the park brake light (i think.. it flashes to quick to readlol) now will sometimes flash once or twice before the ABS light goes off.. i have neverhad this problem while the ABS light is on.. only while the ABS light is off.. but shortly after it happens the ABS light will come on and sometimesthe park brake lightflashes.. and after awhile it will go off again.. it happened to the girlfreind 3 times the other day on her way home from work.. and that's only a 12-15km drive..

and this past weekend me and my dad went through the truck upside down.. had all the wheels off and everything was fine.. fluid was good.. checked the wheelbearings and they were fine..only thing we noticed was the front passenger side wheel creaked/squeaked when jacked up andpushing and pulling from left to right on the wheel.. we narrowed it down to what we think is the idler arm being dry.. i figured walmart would've greased it.. but when we tried to do it ourselves we realised that to be able to grease it it should have an elbow fitting to get the grease gun on it but it doesn't and we couldn't figure out a way to do it without it lol.. so i guess it'll stay until it gets real bad lol

anyway any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated THX to all in advance..

If you have older speed sensers check and make sure there isn't any crap on them. Also check the wiring on the speed sensors to make sure nothing is wrong with them. I had mine cut almost all the way from a torn axle boot spinning around and hitting it but I rewired it and replaced the axle. Also look inside the hole in the hub that your speed sensor goes into and make sure it looks clean in there.

THX dude but i think i figured my own problem out lol.. coming home from a freinds house tonight and someone braked hard in front of me.. and when i did the same the brake pedal seemed diffie. pedal seemed softer than usual and i hadless stopping power.. the ABS light was on when this happened and when i released the pedal the light went off.. but then everything seemed fine.. stopped into the supermarket and on the way out (very well lighted) i noticed a wet spotcomingdown the driver side chassis rail.. i popped the hood and sure enough almost a 1/4 of my brake fluid was gone.. oh well live and learn i guess.. what's funny though is me and my dad checked almost every millimetre of the brakes front to back the other day and everything appeared fine lol.. oh well it's alot cheaper than a new whellbearing lol

Lol no kidding, I'm glad that was the problem. Hopefully the hub disaster won't hit you! *knocks on wood*
