Abs light and sound
 

So the 7 is having another issue....

the abs light just came on... and I can hear a whirring sound from the abs area... not sure if it’s a plug or sensor or fluid related issue...

it sounds like it’s coming from the intake area as well..

when I depress the brake pedal I can hear the idle effected a bit.. maybe it’s air in the system issue? I bled the brakes not too long ago..

and.. of course it’s having difficult hot start issues... again... but in my other post I believe it’s coolant seal issue...

I took off the abs relay and the sound stopped from the abs. But the abs light is still on.

Try and read the error codes from the abs ecu:

I had my ABS relay freak out and make noises once - pulled it, put it back in, it stopped, never did it again.

I just pulled the abs relays (both) and put it back in and the lights went away.. at least for now.. lol
i should re-bleed all 4 corners again tho..

I didn’t do the abs light pulse method..

thanks guys!

Had this happen also with the relay, but also had the abs freak out while the car was on a downward slope. Turned out to be some air trapped in the pump.

that sounds scary lol

how did you get the trapped air out?

I bled it like usual. Seemed like the abs kicking on was able to push the bubble down the line to the caliper, after that ive finally been able to feel what the brakes should feel like.

so do you need to bleed it w the car on or key on??? I might have some air too in the abs...
