amaldhiz Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hello All, A little background on the problem. Had the brakes done all the way around 7 months ago, Rotors and Pads. Since then there have been around 9k miles put on it, so not a lot at all. A couple weeks ago my wife slid in the snow (side ways just a bit) but it was fine it's happened a 1000 times since I've owned it. Now the ABS and Traction lights show up and everything is fine, it brakes like normal and all is right in the world. Light goes off however and the brakes lock up and I hear that "BBBBBPPPP" Noise from the ABS and it grinds and pulses for no reason, snow, wet, dry it does this. Its been super cold here in Ohio and snowy to boot, but I've never had this issue in the last 7 years even when I forgot to replace my pads for quite some time. TL;DR Newer Brakes, ABS/Trac lights come on, brakes are fine, light goes away they pulse and grind like crazy for no reason. What in the world is wrong here?

akirby Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Check for snow or ice buildup around the wheel speed sensors or other damage. A sensor isn't reading properly and thinks the wheel is locking up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Scott Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 i just had this problem there is a gear for your sensor that is most likely broken my passenger side gear was broken it is right behind the rotor you will see it turn it around and see if it is broke thats your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
