does the ABS work? you live where there is snow? if so apply the brakes hard enough to get the ABS to kick in. or just a slick road.
pads won't have anything to do with it.
could be a bad ABS sensor at one of the wheels. |

yeah the wheel speed sensor is on all 4 hubs... one of them might be out of alignment or full of crud... easy to check out and replace/repair... |

Also, the ABS bulb warning relay can stick leaving the light on but the system performing normally. |

i'm not sure if the abs works. I will try and see if I can get it to work on a wet road tonight. |

Trevor,
Any idea where that relay would be on a '94 D1?
My bulbs been on for about a year but the ABS itself is functioning perfectly. |

Any idea how to find the wheel speed sensors to clean/replace? |

My light was a long time in my '94 D1
Took it in the the "dealer" 2 weeks in the shop later it was still on (They checked the sensors etc and said there were no fault codes which you would have with a sensor). So I got out my shop manual. It says if the light is on and there are no trouble codes from the computer look for an electrical problem like a faulty ABS relay. Off to the car and there is was the fuse in the engine compartment ( 30A don't remember whch fuse number)It was blown. Replaced it and the light went out as expected . So before tackling the sensors check the fuses, the connections the relay. There was, I believe discussion last year on how to get the fault codes out of the ABS. I should have done that myself long ago. |
