[Shotimes] ABS

[Paul L Fisher]

Even without a Quaiffe, the wheels would spin at different rates. I believe
the computer throws out a few seconds of that. Are all of your tires the
same size?

Kevin, I will double-check the sensor that I just put in, and all the
others.

I have another theory that I want to ask about also:  We've had a lot of ice
and snow the last few days.  When I see the ABS light come on
intermittently, I wonder if the computer is being confused by wheelspin.  On
launches, it's easy to break loose in front, of course; I imagine the
engineers foresaw the possibility that front wheels might report much higher
speed than rear wheels.  This car also has a Quaiffe, so each of the front
wheels could be reporting different speeds, no?  Would the ABS computer get
upset about that?

 Maybe bleeding the ABS would help but I think your problem is elsewhere.
... The ABS computer thinks one or more of your wheels is sliding and kicks
the ABS in.

When I got home a moment ago, the ABS light came on for a few seconds, then
went out.  Is there any way to read ABS codes at home?
