Default 90 ABS System System

So......

When braking to a complete stop with my ABS system on, the calipers disengage. If the System is off everything functions perfectly?? I have a feeling the problem is a sensor, or the ABS unit, but I wanted to see if ANYone has documented a problem like this before.

Likealways any and all help is appreciated~

I love the coupe,hate the gremlins.

90 coupe Quatttttttt

If anyone has encountered it, it'd probably be revealed in a search...

Default Re: If anyone has encountered it, it'd probably be revealed in a search..Nope.

Thank you for the advice....

I searched the 80-90.....forums with no luck

This problem only occurs when I go to stop, and there is no error / abs idiot light flashing so I'm at a loss.

Anyone?

Default Re: 90 ABS System System

This occured to me about 2 months ago, I search and posted on the forum and no one really had a clear answer... I searched the forum and some people suggested cleaning the abs sensors.

I cleaned mine with a clean cloth and put them back as is and since no problems....but I've read somewhere that sometimes the position of the sensor can activate the abs....good luck.....post if you find a clear answer...

Default Maybe search the audifans archives, or other Audi related forums...

...usually if something has come up, it's been discussed in a forum somewhere.

I had a simliar problem in my '96 A6q, where when I came to a stop the ABS would go off (ie. kick in). Turned out to be a faulty ABS sensor. Cleaning did not work in this instance.

Default I would pull your ABS sensors out and give them a nice cleaning. Make sure when you put them..

...back in, you push it in far enough.

Cheers,
