Hey Guys,
I wanted to update you on the ABS problem I am having with my Cobra R. On Sunday at Gingerman, I had a ABS light come on and at the end of the front straight I was locking up and smoking my rear tires under heavy braking.
After I got back to Houston, I took the car to Kenny Bumbera to see if he would solve the problem. The codes showed I had a bad rear driver side speed sensor. They installed a new sensor and cleared the codes, took it out for a drive and the ABS light came back on. The code showed a bad wheel speed sensor on the other side. Hmmm..They installed a new sensor, cleared the code and after a short drive, the ABS light came on again. This time it showed that the traction control was off..Hmm...the car doesnt have traction control.....Anyway, the bottom line is I probably have a bad ABS electronic module...Man, that sucks, as I have already changed one out about 11/2 years ago. It is not a cheap item..Oh well, the cost of running a car which has no warranty.
Has anyone else had a ABS electronic module fail? It must be due to the heat...Not sure what the solution is?
I am taking the car to Tommy Vaughn, a SVT dealer, on Monday. It you install a new module, you have to use a lap top computer to activate the ABS motor and run thru a set sequence to have the ABS operate properly.
