Re: REAR ABS SENSORS FOR 1997 2.5 V6 PROBE

Puzzled how these can fail except by :-
Cable damage
Sensor can being crushed by rust . They sheathed the can in plastic on later cars.
Mechanical damage by stones, etc
Is yours like this ?

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue

There is , of course , the acid test.
Take her out on the road and see if the ABS works.

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue

Very unlikely three or for sensors have failed all at the same time.
So the module feeding that result to the pmu is possibly faulty , or dirty plug/socket.

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue

Unless they are physically damaged there is NOTHING that can fail on those ABS sensors .

Re: 19yr old probe owner (first car)

Sorry but 'don't' is my best advice.
Enjoy the standard car , trade up to a 24v when the 9yrs of no claims achieved.

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

The handbrake cable pulls a lever arm on the caliper. That lever arm rotates a shaft which disappears into the caliper. There is a lipseal on that shaft , which fails because of the high side loads from pulling the handbrake on. YOU can help stop the water getting in , by packing the space between t...

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

The rear brake will always fail-safe , ie work.
Problem will occur when you release the handbrake .
It won't.
Because the little shaft seal leaks , allowing water/sallt to corrode ,etc.
THAT IS WHY YOU NEED THE........................DENSO tape .

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

Only an Oriental mind could have designed the rear brake assembly. Work or fail is entirely down to the condition of the lip seal around that shaft connected to the handbrake cable.

Re: no start 2.5 24v 1994

Forgot to remind you NEVER try to start the engine with any spark plug disconnected.
