    I have an annoying abs problem... My abs passes initial startup tests,
    but as soon as I get over 15MPH the abs light comes on..Here are a few
    things that I have noticed:


    1. The brakes do make the acuatating clunk noise when i first
    accelerate

    2. I have cleaned all 4 wire connections to the sensors


    3. have replaced the front wheel sensors with brand new ones; so maybe
    one of the rear sensors is bad?? (I hope not)I had no front wheel
    sensors for about a week, and the abs light didn't light didn't turn on
    until about 35mph, but after replacing the two front sensors the light
    clicks on immediatley after about 15mph..

    4. i haven't noticed any flucuations in power, I have replaced the
    battery with a brand new one, battery connections are all clean....

    5. i tried disconnecting the battery , and the mini-fuses/maxifuses in
    attempt to reset the diagnostic computer.....



    6. i have noticed that sometimes taking the car through the car wash,
    will temporairly eliminate the problem.....seems weird to me


    any ideas are appreciated......


    as a a last resort,anyone have any good recommendations for an obd
    scanner for this car??/

    THANKS,

    CHAD

    heres an update:

    I bought an obd scanner, it spit out error codes 81(abs communication
    fault) and 26(quad module fault)

  3. I have a 93 sl2 and the rear wire ABS section that goes between chassis and
    rear wheel had a bad wire, in a bad wire i mean the wire was of poor grade
    wire inside of the insulation i pealed the insulation and the wire inside
    was coroded throug out the entire length of that piece of wire
    I picked up another one at salage yard , hope this helps !

    I went through and double checked all the wheels, My luck i found a
    severed front wire... I just ordered a new one from the dealer, so
    hopefully i'll have it in the next few days.....
