adamzan Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Check the brake fluid. Also if you do have abs it is rear wheel abs only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 my abs and brake lights come on intermittently always together and they seem to stop coming on when the car is warm ie driven for 20 highway miles or so. to my knowledge i do not have abs. i have a 94 XE I have a 95 and mine is on during cold mornings. In the warmer afternoons it won't display. I pretty much ignore it; it's probably just the sensor/connector at the BMC... Oh, I don't have ABS either...

Whitebrick Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 ya im new but have looked on the site for a long time. This past week my abs and brake light came on also. it would do it only on turns wall braking tho. i looked at the lines and everything but nothing looks wrong. Then i looked under the hood and check the master cylender to see what the level was. It was full but seen that there is some kind of hole or somthing behind the first brake line and it is leaking. so i dont know if that is the problem or what. this week i well put a new master cylender in from nissan hopefully thats it. And mine is a XE with abs in the rear only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 my old pathy did this also it was because something in one of the breaks was hanging up and was causeing the abs to freak out. check and make sure your back breaks are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 with rear only abs can you feel it pulsing in the pedal??? i can lock up the tires and dont feel the pedal pulsing. the previous owner may have replaced the rear axle is there any way to find out if the stock axle was replaced with the LSD one i have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will tell you the options it came with. A dealer might do it for you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought all 93+ at least(if not 90+) had the rear ABS. My 93XE has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 can you feel the abs in the pedal when i kicks in or not??? I never have, on either of my 95's. That said, I don't know that I've ever locked up the rear wheels, unless in 4wd, which disables the ABS anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 i can hardly notice my abs pumping the petals but ik it works becasue i dont lock up my tires when on ice. mines a 92 with abs and my freind has a 91 with abs and has the same results so my guess is its either not connected or one of your brakes is a little sticky causing it to turn on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebrick Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 i put a oem master cylender in today and was not that hard ether. i have put over 30 miles on it sofar and the abs or brake light has not come on. i dont know if that is the same problem with yours but gust somthing to look at. well post pics later to show you the leak that i was talking about.

My 93XE has it. its a primitive ABS...the solenoid is on the right side about halfway back tucked up against the frame rail Hmm, maybe that's why I never saw any parts that would indicate ABS. Certainly doesn't feel like it... *goes and looks* B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Damn, that's some seriously dirty brake fluid!! Also, looks like the contacts were quite corroded. That may have been the reason for the warning lights. Still, if it was leaking, it needed replacing... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebrick Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 well now you know my secret to good brakes. ya i seen the corrosion on the plug that may have had somthing to do with is also but the master cylinder was leaking to so ethere way i was going to change it out for a new one.
