Long time since I've been on here, my 100 series has just worked faultlessly apart from my last big expense with the suspension pipe bursting on the O/S rear. 264K miles and going strong. However....
I'm after some suggestions. My ABS light comes on but only if I turn hard left, doesn't come on if I turn hard right. I've replaced both front sensors last year and tested them today and both OK. Now I know my steering is noisy (I have a new power steering pump to fit at some point and I was wondering if the Power steering pump also provides the hydraulics for the ABS system or is that provided by something else. Am I looking in completely the wrong direction. Does the ABS pump actually provide all the hydraulic pressure for the ABS or is it pressurised by the Steering pump?.
I'm at a loss at the moment. I did have problems with the sensors when the C clip that holds the drive shaft into the hub came off and the shaft was moving in the hub but for the life of me I can't think what it could be and I'm hoping it's not the ABS pump unit.
The brakes work really well and I can drive for miles without the ABS light being on if I don't have to turn too much hard left, it will be OK if I don't have to turn it onto the steering stop on the left.
Andy Ideas anyone?.
Cheers
