Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This past weekend, my ABS went out while on the track. I have no ABS at all. I can lock all four up without any effort at all. The ABS light is on solid. Electrical power is good. No codes, but I only had a generic OBD2 reader. Has anyone had this type of failure?

POST 3Original post

boiled the fluid? maybe it just needs a flush and reset?? (flush with ABS flush)

Uhhh, wouldn't be able to lock up all four with boiled fluid! Phil

Good suggestion. I wish I'd thought of it at the track. Yup, fluid is fine. Good brake pedal, and no problem locking up the brakes.

I didnt think boiling the fluid meant it was still boiling several days later??? I thought maybe he boiled it (or nearly) that caused an issue that might go away with a re-flush / reset... it was a thought

Check that and then read codes with proper scanner. I am back and will give you a call in a bit.

what does this mean? where is the abs control unit (I assume thats what you mean)

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 7917514

It grounds via the headlight ground on the driver's side IIRC. Accidentally cut it once and experienced the same effect. Took me a whole day at the track to figure it out. Duh....

POST 15Original post

Yes drivers side and there is actually 2 there, 1 ground bolts to the top of the frame rail horn (this was the one loose on Mike's car), and the other goes to the side of the inner fender well. Both brown wires and obvious grounds. Different years may have different locations. They do go into harness and also work as grounds for headlights and other things.

FYI - Mike carries a number of items in the front trunk when transporting to and from the track and I would speculate that one of these items possibly bumped the ground and loosened it.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
