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..

 

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.

 

I'm not sure where the speed sensors are on these cars..

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.
