the other day i slid (in the snow) into a curb, pretty hard too. I cracked the rim bad, got a new rim, messed with the alignment a little to straighten the wheel. Thats so far so good. I hit the curb with the passenger side rear tire. Now for some reason, the ABS comes on even when light braking (the slightest touch, it goes straight to ABS, no normal brakes.) After driving for like a minute, the ABS light comes on and i have no ABS at all (even under super hard braking when ABS would normally come on), its just the normal brakes, im puzzled
-what the problem?
-possible resolution?

thanks guys

 

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but from the sound of it something is definitely wrong. I would go to ASAP

 

anybody else?

 

Check for any bent suspension components on the rear passenger side, make sure nothing is pinching your brakelines/ABS lines or the hardlines aren't bent in any irregular way. If you can't find anything wrong ... check you ABS fuse ... if you don't find anything wrong take it into before you do more damage.

 

You probably have a bad ABS sensor or cracked ring.
Pull out the Abs speed sensor in the side that hit the curb and check to see the condition of the ring. Start there I seen this before
Usually you find dirt on the ring of the abs sensors (high mileage). A cleaning is all they need.

 

3 things:

the line for the abs sensor is a somewhat thick black line that goes into the metal shield behind the brake, which leads towards the hub, correct?

pinout that would lead me to the abs fuse?

to check abs speed sensor, i would have to remove brake/metal brake disc shield?

thanks
