NB ABS WTFBBQ Problem
 
Not sure what started the problem. When i get in the car and if i apply the brakes i can feel the peddle pulsing like the abs is on and if i do it at low speed i can hear the abs pump doing it's thing but it continues few seconds after i have stopped. After about 3 minutes the abs light comes on and the system is bypassed. 3 - 4 days later abs light just comes on when i start the car.

Guessing first place to look is abs senders on the wheels but is there any way to test them? Or has anyone heard of or had this problem?

I'm never touched a Miata with ABS, but I know on some cars if your foots on the brake when you start the car, you will feel the pedal pulsating. Its the ABS system running a self diagnostic, totally normal.

Again, no clue on specifics of Miata ABS, but maybe there's a way to get codes from the ABS system?

Disconnect ABS harness from ABS brain thing, start car see what happens.

Turn car off plug shit in, start car see what happens?

Find someone with an ABS scanner. I have one, but not sure if it will work on a Miata. Might simplify finding your problem.

disconnect and throw away the ABS.


Lift weights with legs.

Do pumping on your own, or better yet, don't lock your wheels up.
