ABS light!
 
My abs light keeps coming on every know and then. I know I need to change my rear pads real bad but I just haven't had time nor the money.:(...does the abs light come on to let you know you need new pads? The front pads still have long ways to go. I bet my rear pads wore out faster cause of all the burnouts..:o

I wouldnt think so, but I could be wrong?

there isnt a sensor for the back pads...i kinda let the brakes wear down too much from going to the track and tore up my rotors but it sounds like a bad sensor somewhere. Would a X-cal tuner pick up a bad sensor?

Check your speed sensors to see if they are clogged w/ metal filings. Also, check to make sure that none are broken or that any connections are loose.

Also the VSS location on a 94, I doubt much changed: http://autorepair.about.com/library/...bl590a-lib.htm

Basically, look behind the rotors and you'll see a toothed wheel and you'll see a small cylinder above the wheel (in which it's usually convered to some extent w/ shavings). If you take off the rotors, it's kind of hard to miss.

Actually, I wasn't taking about that sensor. I guess wheel speed sensor or ABS sensor is more acuarate term for it.

yea clean off that wheel with some brake cleaner. I couldnt believe how much brake dust had coated that wheel. I dont even see how it got a reading. Plus, I did this back in like 2005, so theres no telling what your looks like if youve never cleaned them.
