jonoman14 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 HI all My 1990 Toyota Celsior is showing an abs light and am wondering if this is a common problem and if so what it most likely is. Any help is much appreciated Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2006 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 You 1st need to read the fault codes for the ABS which will point you in the right direction, a failed wheel sensor is the most likely problem but checking the codes will confirm. Follow the instructions to the letter. http://www.lexls.com...odereading.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoman14 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi Steve2006 I checked all the codes and there was none so upon that i started checking the speed sensors and lo and behold when i got to the right front there was no speed sensor. So the wrecker yard calling commenced and finally after much agonising i found one for $100, stuck it in and no more lights on dash yippeee. Next thing... I have sourced some leather seats from a 1990 celsior which is the same one i got the sensor from, are they a direct bolt in from the original material seats i have in there now?

steve2006 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've never heard of one completely missing before! I have some spare ones and would have sent you one for the cost of the postage if you had asked. Yes the seats are plug and play, I don't know if the velour seats you have in at the moment are heated and even some of the leather ones aren't ( mine aren't) but the rest of the plugs and sockets should match straight up. I would disconnect the battery before disconnecting the plugs under the seat as there are airbag detectors in there. The seat mountings will be the same but leave the battery connected until you have removed the seat mounting bolts as you will have to move the seat forwards and backwads to get to them all.

uzz32soarer Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 How many pumps of the brake pedal before the ABS electric motor kicks in. If under four, then accumulator is low on nitrogen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
