Alleged ABS unit FIX described

[leonml]

Well now my light was off in the morning, so I'm sure eventually it will be off and on for a while and then on for good.

To replace the whole abs wouldn't be too difficult I wouldn't think.

But it does get Expensive$$

If the issue is just some broken connectors, I may take it out and try to get a friend at work to rebuild them. He does work on circuit boards all day, this shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I wonder if SlowPro's magnet piston movement trick would help excersise the system without jaming on the breaks occassionally? ( I have these new-fangled Michelin LTX MS2's and they don't break loose unless it's glare ice practically.)

Sambo, now why in the world would you want to do that? You'd take two hours trying to move those valves by hand through as many cycles and one good 2 second skid would achieve. Do they not have ANY dirt roads where you live? Lotsa rich people in NY so maybe all the roads are paved. Dude, are you a HIGH ROLLER? Confess!!!!

Anyway - you don't need to "exercise" (or exorcise!) the valves - they get they exercise every time you drive the VX as part of the ABS self test procedure. It's called BITE - Built In Test Equipment - each solenoid valve gets cycled as does the pump. Listen carefully and you may hear the pump. I can't after Monday night. They sell some righteous fireworks down in South Cackalac! Tried out some new artillery rounds - brand name was Black Mamba - use a fiberglass launch tube - the display is not as pretty as Excalibur which is what I normally get but great googly moogly they were shockingly loud. Gotta remember the earplugs next year...

OK there you go my friend - everything you need to derail this train.

Thanx for the tip, I'll hunt down a dirt road over in Vermont nextdoor.

Ahhhh, not a dirt road in sight, eh? Dude, you ARE a High Roller! Stay away from Vermont though - too many cows. Even with fully exercised ABS you might T-Bone one. VXs don't look as good with bovine-shaped dents. So here's what you do: Since old money high rollers love brick driveways, and old brick is slick when it's wet, next time it rains go visit one of your Country Club buddies and drive about 35 mph up his long brick driveway - and then just when you see the whites in the butler's eyes - stand on the brakes!

Here is a thread where Dino took his apart.

Sounds like these are the "chambers" that guy on ebay was referring to?
