Breaking weird ?

[Sticks]

I was driving home from work today and had to brake on a bit hard, then something weird happened. It started to juddered a lot and then the steering went a bit light.

Anybody know what this could be?

Cheers

Abs?

EDIT:-

Abs?

Oh, snap.

So you think it is the abs. Like a sensor gone or something?

 

[Cooch]

ABS pushs the pedal back up and down like you yourself were pumping the pedal. What exactly is it doing?

 

[turbo-dan]

not sensor just your abs kicking in as you braked hard

 

[Sticks]

Feels like a knocking in the pedal type thing and yes up and down motion too.

lol yea thats abs guess youve never felt it before!

 

[Sticks]

Nope. On my other cars it has been smoother than that

How ABS works...

ABS, or Anti-Lock Braking system, prevents the car skidding and retaining driver control by stopping the wheels locking up under heavy braking. Sensors in each wheel detect wheel speed, when the control unit senses one (or more) wheel(s) being significantly slower than the rest (or completely stopped) the control unit releases the braking pressure on that wheel. Once the wheel starts spinning again, the brakes are released. This is a fast process happening ~10 times per second. Juddering can be felt through the pedal and a juddering noise can be heard, which is normal.

Faulty sensor(s) are usually identified by ABS activation under light braking when the wheels aren't locked up or on ice/wet painted lines.

Thank you

Thank you

Not a problem.

ABS can (usually) be deactivated by removing the fuse, but knowing Toyota, the Starlet probably has some weird ABS system.

I may just do that in the new year if it can be done

 

[Adam_Glanza]

well im sure it can be done as simply as pulling out the fuse lol..

it will probably put a fault code in tho
