ABS Problem?

supragirl84 · 12-07-2010, 02:33 AM

you mentioned you disconnected the abs computer and it was fine. i was thinking about doing that until i can figure out what the problem is. my question is: would the car be drivable on the highway and do you think thats a safe option for the car or would i be better off just trying to replace the lines and caliper? any advice would be appreciated! thanks!

Disconnecting the ABS computer will just leave you with standard brakes. So if your problem is a faulty ABS component, then this will likely be ok. If the problem is with the caliper, as the tech suggested, then disconnecting the ABS computer will not benefit you in any way

thanks for the help! i'm more than sure now its not the abs. abs light would be coming based on what the manual and others i've talked to suggest. im about to buy the new calipers and replace those so hopefully it works!
