Abs problem!!!
 

i have a 1993 FD Rx7. the ABS brakes arent kicking in. the motor works i can hear it pumping when i jump some wire so its on.....i went to the driver side rear where the ABS unit is. the light flashes 10x and then pauses and flashes 10x....over and over.

Do you know what this light means, or what the problem is?
iv checked the relays, and tested the brake sensors, they ALL work fine.

please help.

all i need to know are what the 10x flashing light means.

ANYONE!!!

I'm not sure the flashing light on the ABS control unit is code for anything. You need to have an ABS tester to diagnose if anything is wrong in the system. You can't test the ABS unit itself so only think about replacing that after you've checked everything else.

ok, so where can i get an ABS tester from? i did use an ohm meter to test the continuity of the ABS sensors and they all worked. i jumped some wires so the ABS pump would click on and it did, but when i take it to a gravel road and slam on the brakes and turn the wheel is wont kick in. and the ABS light is still on, if i take out the ABS light would it work? cause i did hear somthing about if the light is on it shuts down the ABS unit itself. :dunno:

P.S. i did find a cheap used ABS computer that i was thinking of getting, whats your opinion on getting this?

i know im asking alot of questions and i appreciate your help in advance.

You can get an ABS tester at your friendly local Mazda dealer...

The 10 flashes does mean something, but I couldn't tell you what it is. Why Mazda didn't put the meanings of the flash codes in the manual is beyond me.

If you take the light out the system will continue to operate as it is operating now.

A new computer might fix it, but probably not. Run through all the diagnostic procedures in the manual that you can run through if you haven't already.

ok thanks, i called mazda earlyer this week and asked them what that code meant, and the guy said he would have to hook up his tester to check it. and he said that that light isnt a code for anything. but i dont think he knew anything about this car lol.

P.S. does mazda lend tools or are you saying take my car there and have them test it?
thanks again
