So, following the advice here to try and cure the scrubbing wheels on
slow turns and the ABS light coming on,
I went out and tested all 4 ABS speed sensors.
I traced the wires back to their first connectors, two under the back
seat and the front two, down low ahead of the front wheels.
I disconnected them and put the meter across the two contacts. All of
them gave a consistent resistance of about 1100Ohms.
So, no indication that any one of them is failing.
I also notice something else now.
From cold, I come to the stop sign at the top of the road, and apply
the brakes.
The brake pedal goes down and brakes the car, at what seems to be a
little higher up in its travel -
only then, suddenly it slips (minor panic) another inch and brakes
again. After that it's fine.
WHen it does this, it's a bit like the ABS braking is kicking in for a
single cycle or something.
Anyone experienced this?
Mark.
