Alleged ABS unit FIX described

[PK]

Can you say "DESPERATION"?

I don't know - it is a logical thing to try now that I have seen one in half.

For the ABS to work, the coils have to pull (or push) those pistons to make the brakes modulate.
If the pistons are seized up due to lack of use, then spraying them with a penetrating oil of some sort is logical.
Only reservation I would have, is to make sure the spray used is compatible with the brake fluid, if any was to seek in that far.

Makes more sense to get out on a back road and hammer the brakes once a month now.

Didn't Rowhard subscribe to that theory, and made sure he tested/used his monthly....but then his still failed too? John??

• I wrote to the ebay guy (resk123) that wrote that today to ask him some more questions...awaiting reply.

• I've also written to the ebay REBUILD guy 3 times now, with pics, sent these latest pics of the innerds,
  and referenced the Isuzu Workshop Manual, page 5A-5 which says this:

General Service Precautions
The following are general precautions which should be
observed when servicing and diagnosing the Anti-lock
Brake System and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in Anti-lock Brake
System damage.


The EHCU and valve block connectors should never
be connected or disconnected with the ignition “ON” .

EHCU of the Anti-lock Brake System are not
separately serviceable and must be replaced as
assemblies. Do not disassemble any component
which is designated as non-serviceable in this
Section.

...here's his response today:

Hi Sue,
We have several thousand of this same type abs Module, This Design is used on many other Makes and Model Automobiles, We will have no problem rebuilding this abs Module.
Thank You
Don

Sounds promising.....

Yep, mine failed too, but heck, it doesn't work so trying this can't really hurt it. Just wondering about compatibility of the fluids
