ABS Quit! HELP
For some unknown reason, my ABS system quit. The master warning light on the dash is lit, and so is the ABS orange light on the dash.
I purchased a used ABS controller (assuming it's good), and no change. ABS still "lit" and no abs.
I checked the relay in the fuse box, opened it up and tested it, and it seems to be fine.
According to the manuals, there are relays on the ABS Controller in the wheel well.
Can you get to these relays w/o removing the ABS controller (and the associated brake lines)?
Would a wheel sensor cause this?
What else could cause this?
Thanks,
Tony Garcia

Dear Tony
It is a typical wheel sensor problem...
The good thing it that you have 95 % chance to just need to clean the dust on the sensors to have your ABS back to work....
Not so expensive ....
It is a well known problem on 944/968...

Tony,
I have the exact same problem, same symptoms as well with the dash lights. It's my drivers rear sensor, took it into the dealer, and they hooked their fancy machine on there, and tested the output from the sensors (don't ask, I don't know details). Three out of four output a normal 5 volts, and one outputs a weak 3 volts. They cleans up the sensors, but I still have the problem. I'll be heading back in soon to replace that sensor, hopefully that's all she needs. Good luck.
