SV: 87 5KCSQT - Bearing replaced - now antilock brake light issues...

[Kenn Thyrsted]

Have the same problem after having had the rubber thingies protecting
the CV's replaced along with a shock replacement.
After appx. 3 weeks of flawless function, i started to get the same
problem You have.

Searching the archives , i found a post from Phil:

Haven't tried it yet, though.

Emne: 87 5KCSQT - Bearing replaced - now antilock brake light issues...


Hi all,

Thanks to everyone with input for replacing the bearing.  The car is
quieter
than it ever has been since I started driving it, too cool!!!

Now for the inevitable bad news, this new found success has not come
without
a price.  Occaisionally the brake pedal is very stiff - usually just
after
starting the car and driving a short distance.  Also the yellow
"antilock
off" warning light comes on.  I can make it go off by pressing the
antilock
button off then back on.  The warning light will then go off.  However,
there is no antilock action.  I can lock up the brakes with no problems.
I
think that the speed sensor may be the issue here or there is something
else
that needs to be reset.  I reused the existing pads as they were not in
need
of replacement.  Anyone else had these problems before and is this an
easy
fix?

TIA,
