I bought this thing in October, and it's finally snowed in southeast Pennsylvania. I've been wanting to test the ABS brakes, and I found a 1/2" of snow on the roads. Anyway, the ABS makes a rapid grinding*/pulse in the brake pedal, instead of slower on/off pulse I'm used to with my Jeep's ABS. Is this normal for Celicas?
*Grinding might not be the best word. It's more of a 300 rounds per minute sensation.

I'm too cheap to risk melting rubber on dry asphalt...LOL! My Jeep Grand Cherokee is the only other vehicle I've owned with ABS (I tend to buy older cars). The Jeep has a slow steady pulse in the snow, just in case you don't know how to pump brakes. The Celica's ABS did activate, so I guess it's working...one way or another.
