Hey Z what’s up thanks for posting the vids and sharing the knowledge ;), I changed the clutch line on my BMW e39 and I didn’t the master cylinder. I believe air past thru to the abs unit. Now my traction control is off constant and my abs light is on. I would like to know what you think if I were to jump the relay for the abs pump to try and get the fluid back into the abs module? P.s. thanks ahead
Do you know if these solenoids can be used in the vanos system?
I want to stop (ABS) disabled tire is not the lamp

In this case, there might be air in the ABS pump itself. At the dealer they will flush the system and connect a computer to the system to cycle all valves to work out any remaining air from the system. You can always try to manually bleed the system yourself and then the car will auto-check the system as it always does upon restarting the car.
Good luck!

I’m sorry, do you mean the ABS just stopped working? ABS Light “on” on the Instrument cluster?
This might be a mechanical break in the pump, unfortunately. But I would try to check the resistance of all the electrical connections in the pump itself first!
It may be an easy fix!
Good Luck!

hi my 328is 98 abs light is on and the car computer say to me to bleed my abs/asc system but it doesn’t work what I can do ????
Hi I’m from Iraq, said the ABS work I have is I did good for the car to Ataatoagaf well do you cancel ABS work is better and how can you help me ABS stopped and Thanks
Hi, electrician diagnosed with OBD, that mine ABS left rear brakes ABS outlet valve is stuck, any possibilities to fix it ?
This almost sounds like a Power issue, perhaps a bad relay? Fuse?
Hello, My 99 M3 is at a mechanic now and the 2 front wheel speed sensors have no power to them. They can’t figure out the problem. Would replacing this unit be the cure? Thanks!
by the way the cruise control is not working too.
Hello,
I have a BMW 545i SE. The ABS light, Handbrake light, Traction control light stay on all the time. I spoke to the garage they say I may need a ABS module or a speed sensor. The steering wheel is perfectly aligned so I suspect it wont be the sensor anyway plus the 3 lights being on all the time. Is there anyway I could fix this myself?
it’s error 39 asb pump I just ckech’it today. my pump is different insise
Hello,
Possibly, if the ABS doesn’t work then the ASC can not use the brakes to stop the wheel spin.
good Luck!
Can this be the problem for the ASC too ?
Error nº40?
When you disconnect the ABS pump, is there a special procedure for bleeding the brakes after ABS removal?
This is a wheel speed sensor on your car.
my abs lifgt go on after i put my car in drive and go 10 feet ,it comes on abs brake lihgt and sircle warning lihgts, can some one help me ?is my abs unit pump gone or is a speed sensor? thanks
The ABS light in my car turns off after startup as if it were ok, but when I actually put the ABS to work, it doesn’t seem to work in one or more of the wheels, other times it doesn’t seem to work at all with no typical vibration on the pedal, wheels simply lock. However I never get the ABS light on after it started up. Got any idea?
nice repair vid, but honestly i wouldnt recommend doing this, the auto manufactureres use that ribbon wire for a reason, your working with a very important unit of the braking system, im not doubting your skill or knowledge but if there were just hypotheticaly speaking a serious accident happened due to an abs problem and was investigated and found tampered abs unit, there would be serious trouble there. R&R is the best if that is the fault, i work for bmw, please do not attempt this to save $
wouldnt the change of wires create problems?? since wires will have more resistance and mess the up the electronics.
Wow Thank You Zach, My ABS light is on all the time from the moment i start my car, so I’m gonna try this out if after replacing the relay’s the light is still on. BFC FTW!!!
My ABS and ASC light occasionally comes on. Most times when I turn the car off and go into the store or something, I come back out, start the car, both lights are on, I start driving, and it goes off when I shift into second. Any tips?
The cruise control should work with or without the ABS working. I don’t think they would be related. Unless you had a bad brake switch.
I’m not sure to be honest, I would think as you said it provides a softer feel.
I have own 8+ E36 M3, 92 thru 95+, 318, 325, and M3.
I have a question, there are subtle differences in the brake “feel” between early 92 (firm brakes) and later. Have you seen in the ABS unit itself if the later units have a pressure accumulator to soften the ABS pump cyclic vibrations? I believe this is why the later ABS brakes systems are not as firm as the early 92.
so my abs light is usually on, every once in awhile, it will stay off untill i drive a few miles but 99% of the time its constantly on. just recently ive been having problems with my cruise control, the cruise will either not work at all or it will work for a few seconds then slowly dog down, so….could my bad soilinoids be the cause of both???
thank you
very nice ….. thanks a lot )
