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

I don't know about the laws there, but here if you have any kind of check engine light on, you'll fail emissions. If you remove the ABS all together, the question is whether the light would stay on or not. You have OBD1 diagnostics... here, they don't plug into anything for OBD1, they can only read OBD2, which means no codes can be read. This is a good thing if this is the case for you as well.

HOWEVER - Follow Bitter's instructions/advice, I think he's dead on. I was going to suggest that it must be your sensors. I had the same experience with my 4Runner a year or so ago (although no ABS light ever came on). Your brakes should work fine w/out the ABS. Make sure they're plugged in properly, it could be something as simple as that. It's easy sometimes to miss the trees for the forest. Also check again for that bleeder nipple, I'm pretty sure it's there. On my 4Runner (which only had rear ABS) it was about halfway down the rear axel. It's important that it's bled properly though.
