ABS!!, agh Options

[RobXcore]

Firstly, hey everyone, im new here,
I own 2x 6G celicas,
A red ST, (i abused on kinda off road strips)
and a White GT, im currently modding out.


Well, i have a problem with my abs, i know were not all engineers, i generally do most jobs on the car, myself with the help of some semi-mechanics for free..


Well, my abs motor wont start as i start the car, i have checked, relays, fuses, power in, power out, earthing, each connector on both in/out cables. tested the motor in my red celica and it works fine :S

hmm, any idea's, or if theres any celica heads, near nottingham UK, with any more DIY knowledge (or a fault reader) id love it.

Im trying to avoid using a garage for anything, since im skint, id prefer to do things the long way than the expensive way.. else id own a lambo tyvm.



Sorry if im misusing the forum here,

like i said '''new'''

Ill have some pics of my ride up soon, hoping to meet a good few ppl up here.
:]

oh and to point out, my breaks arent working :]
they are spongey all the way to the floor, before offering any form of slowing down, i have to pump and keep them at the bottom, to make sure i stop..
((also, new master cylinder, checked servo/pipes/fuses/relays/etc

the brakes themselves will work 100% fine without the abs system working. i'd be willing to bet you either still have air, or you have a bad master (new ones can be faulty, not that uncommon).

your first priority needs to be getting your brakes working correctly, then worry about the ABS system.

does your abs modulator have a bleeder nipple on it? if so then you need to specifically bleed the air from the ABS modulator, as air is very easily trapped inside those devices and is extremely hard to bleed out into the brake lines.

as for the abs system, you may have a bad EBCM (electronic brake control module). theyre very expensive, but i think there is a way to test if they work. the basic test is 'does the abs and abs active lights come on when you turn the car on'. if they do, but the abs modulator does not set it self, then the ebcm probably works. you could try to find out if theres a way to pull fault codes from it that are stored in memory.
