Tomb Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Right just finished fitting braided brake lines, new discs and pads. Took them out and bedded them in, but no matter how hard i try now, I can't seem to make the ABS light come on ... I swear the light came on before under heavy braking? Now it just seem to squeal and stop , can't tell if it's locking or not. Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japcarsbrett Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 abs kicks in when you skid so it maybe as you have all new brake lines discs and pads that your stopping power is so much better that it probably won't do it till a higher speed then before, or it will do it in the rain. I personally wouldn't care if the light doesn't come on as long as it brakes and brakes well and hard when i need it too i would leave it be, as it's when you can't get the light to go off is when it's a pain in the A## had that problem on one of my old car's had to sell it in the end long story . So yeah as long as it brake's all well and good i would leave it be i'm sure it will come on if it had too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
