paul, I made it back, brakes issues still
Paul again thanks, I just made it back to NY. A long haul with the family.. But hte eng light did come back on and the ABS and Brake light came on several times again. seems to be a short or open.. Sometimes when I hit bumps, turn hard start again after stoppen. Also at times I can feel the brakes pule. Could warn Rear Rotors cause the lights to come on?? The pads are new but I did notice the rotors are pretty warn. I still need to dive into those codes and trouble shoot the issue.. Paul or someone can you send me screen captues of the 17544 and 17546 trouble shooting pages. thanks again..

Do you feel the brakes pull when you start to drive from a stop? Dirty Speed Sensors.

When you have this issue the ABS, BRAKE and Traction Control lights will come on.
Just pull the sensors (front most likely) out like a cork out of a wine bottle. Then clean with some brake cleaner.

Re: Do you feel the brakes pull when you start to drive from a stop? Dirty Speed Sensors.
nope no pull at all.. I thought maybe a sticking caliper too.. Just when I come to stops SOMETIMES the pedal pulses. And the ABS light does not come on.. THe ABS light and BRAKE light ( the same light as the emergancy brake) come on and stays on till you shut the car off. then it resets and stays off. But the light does come back on for verious reasons. Anyone have any ideas??

Re: I'm unsure if Paul checked for broken brake pad wear sensor wiring, but I would check that.
thanks, I will check that too.. But would that cause the abs light to come on and brakes to pulse??

If it's a light pulse,than is possibe that one of the rotors is warped. I have that on my wife's 94' 100.

Re: paul, I made it back, brakes issues still
nope the levels are good.. The comes on sometimes if I do Turns like u turns, or sometimes no turns, just coming to a full stop and starting again. but each time I turn off the car and restart it clears. Sometimes after reseting it comes right back other times not at all.. I keep driving then it pops back on after a stop or a slow sharp turn. I already cleaned one abs sensor. Tomorrow I am going to pull all the ABS sensors. But anything else to look for? Thanks
