Good Day House.

Sometime ago I complain on this forum about my temperature rise whenever I travel like 100km with my a/c on and that the car moves as if there's a force holding it from moving, people were suggesting i change my radiator and thermostat.

Out of anger, I changed the front wheel hub, break caliper, break disc, and break pad when I noticed that the front driver-side wheel is always hot when this temperature rise occurs.


The picture below is shows the temperature Gauge after about 83 miles.

the car below left the factory without an ABS module. If your abs pump is bad, you did good by bypassing it. The only difference you will experience is lack of the anti lock function, so drive careful and you will be ok. Our father's and their peugeot 504s and 505s never had abs and did pretty well on the highways.

Good technicians do not bypass systems especially systems like ABS, the engineers that build it are not stupid, a good technician strives to put a car in the factory specs, what then is the difference between you and the shade tree kazeem? Maybe the scan to used on the car can only detect generic DTCs, which explains why they could only find 02 codes, even if you don't find any code relating to ABS, as far as the scan tool is ABS capable, you go to live data and see exactly what is going on or wrong. ABS in some instances become life savers, so it is not something a modern driver should do without.

Remember I said temporary solution pending when I get the module. I can't just park the car because of this ABS issue.

My mechanic will be in Onitsha soon to check If he can get it there.

I'm not buoyant enough at least for now to ask Siena to send it for me because of the dollar rate.

Thank you all for your comments.

GAZZUZZ:


ABS unit faulty. Will you open it with a screwdriver and fix it? We are not talking speed sensors here. The location and availability of parts matters. As the vehicle is, it is very safe to drive, as log as there are no leaks. As soon as he can buy the ABS unit, every thing done is reversible. Factory specs are good, but when it comes to choosing weather to park a car and trek to fulfill factory specifications, then it kills the point of buying the car in the first place. It's good to be practical sometimes.

then park that killing machine

kingreign:


Mr man, so because of ABS bypass he should park his vehicle?
Do you know alot of cars DON'T use ABS system?
Some camry's till 06 MY, Corolla till 08 MY anmongst others?

Abeg no start this kind talk, na oversabi dey embarrass people.

I did nor read from what he wrote that he tested the pump and it did not work, he said he changed wheel and etc, but we know well that in those parts he changed there is something called wheel speed sensor, did he test to see if the senor or sensors are not reporting to the computer? ABS pump is a top Dollar part, so you will need to test everything properly before changing anything, and in this case you will need a wiring diagram to know exactly what wires to feed 12v to. He will be dissapointed if after changing that pump the fault remains, that is what I talking about.

The problem is not the speed sensors. I understand how you feel concerned for me base on the safety issues. Thanks for that. I will be driving defensively. I won't exceed 120km/hr max. on the highway until I change the Module.

Gazzuzz and my mechanic said exactly the same thing, meaning they have been doing the job for so many people and never had complain.

Why don't I park the car because my SRS or CEL is illuminated?

lonelydora:
GAZZUZZ and Orex, thanks for the reply. I drove around town today and the braking was just normally. I have not had cause, at least, for now to do a hard braking.

By next weekend, i will give you guys reply on my experience at the highway. For now everything is just fine. Car movement very okay and better than before.


GAZZUZZ, once again thanks for your advice.
