Abs on evo 4 help

[Matturbo]

Hi guys wondering if you can help have evo4 96 abs light has come on
1. Whats the best port of call first chexk teeth and sensors or gat a diagnostic
2. Is it still ok to drive as am i right in saying the ayc is xonnected to rear abs?

Any replys would be greatful thanks

I'd get a diagnostic done and this will tell you where the problem lies.

you are correct in thinking that the ayc does use the abs sensor so that may not work until the problem is fixed, you will be fine to drive it in the meantime though.

Agreed!

I suspect that it may be the rear N/S sensor as they have be known to go quicker then the others for some reason

The Mitsi dealers can run a diagnostic and I think they charge around £45 or so.

It is no guaranteed that they will diagnose it correctly however, as quite a few people that I know have been advised by them to change the wrong one

Here's to hoping they get it right this time though

never listen to a 'trained' mitsi mechanic


I've always found code reading to be accurate, but dont pay mitsi.....do it yourself by bridging 1 and 4 on the obd port (long flashes =10 and short flashes =1)

My pal has boosch diagnostic so was just guna chuck it on their


Also gets alot of road noise lik bearing sound and the odd wine from the back like a siren in the rear seats lol
Going to do all fluids twice and go from there any other suggeations much appriciated

Hope it is a wheel bearing mate. If it's the diff. not a cheap fix.

I'd first of all get your wheel bearing checked as this can trigger the abs light and also the ayc light. My ayc light came on instead of the abs light. I had the same problem on a e4 a while back. The wheel bearing was Loud. Got the complete hub replaced (got it cheap) and it was sorted. The light stayed on but after a quick reset with scanner it was sorted. The fault showed up as abs sensor. It was weird as I expected the abs light to be on and not the ayc one!

 

[Matturbo]

Thanx for reply you know of any good fair places for bearings as they come complete with hub at a guess??

 

[m7gsr]

Try Jamie@evotune. I'm sure he'll have one

Sorry, I edited the previous post. I'd defo give Jamie a shout. I'm sure he was breaking an e5 and 6.

 

[Matturbo]

ok wil try them when i know for sure as puttin on ramp tomoz but sounds like bearings to me!! o i hope anyway lol

thanx m7gsr

jus need to sort the abs then hopefully all good fingers crossed

 

[m7gsr]

No prob. I hope it's your bearing mate. The diffs not a cheap fix.

I have a black e4 (sunroof),e6 engine complete with similar issue. I'm 90% sure it's the diff!! Just wondering whether or not to break the car instead of doing the diff. It's too good to break though being black and having the sunroof.

Let us know how you get on

Quick update as spent all day on her.
Parts needed are
Osf wheel bearin
Osr wheel bearing
Flexi 4 downpipe
Rear pads-done
Handbrake adjustment-done
Change all oils-done
Grease everything
Nsf cv boot
Also painting complete underside white

But on a negative couldnt get solus to speak to ecu as import :-(

Also has had a new diff recently as mintly clean!!!!! :-D

 

[m7gsr]

That's good news it's not the diff. By Solus I take it the Snap on? It doesn't connect unfortunately

You might be better off changing the complete hub for the wheel bearings. Removing the abs sensor can sometimes damage it. I managed to get acomplete hub with abs sensor and a handbrake cable for £50. Others wanted upto £125 with the abs sensor!!

 

[Matturbo]

My m8 wrks for mitsi in essex so hes guna have a wrd with brighton branch to diagnose it! An yea solus (snap on) aka peice of sh*t lol an my mates gettin me price for all bits needed trade so just gota find probs

 

[m7gsr]

Thats cool mate. Hopefulyy he should get you a good price. I'm sure Mitsi only sell the hub and not bearings on their own I'm sure I called them. Yep the Snap on is sh** on the older cars. They should be able to work out all the probs.

 

[Matturbo]

I have now undersealed whole car an dond cv boot only thing left at mo is bearings an abs so all should be good soon :-D

 

[Matturbo]

O an put a brand new scorpion dwnpipe on as is new design to where flexi is!

 

[m7gsr]

Good stuff, nearly there Few less things to worry about

 

[Matturbo]

Quick update done everything runs sweet just gotta find abs fault which is o/s/f i changed sensor to one which i got with hub stil came on doing my nut.
Ayc fluid change made hell of a difference!
