Hi guys, just wanted to know, seeing as it's winter time, i noticed my abs kicking in quite often and with not that much pressure on the brake pedel. I have a feeling my pads and or rotors need to be changed, if they are almost finished would they cause the abs to kick in sooner? i know every cars ABS system is different, some kick in earlier and some later...let me know.thanks

No the pads will not make that happen. Maybe the ABS sensors are dirty.

 

Hey Tech, what's up? so if it is the abs sensors, is there a way to clean them? is it easy to do? let me know.thanks bro...

Remove the sensors and just clean them. There should be 1 screw holding them in.

 

Yes 10mm bolt is securing the sensor. I would use a can of brake cleaner spray. I would also clean the pulser teeth; see attached; courtesy of Volvospeed.com.

Hey JPN thanks for replying...so the 10mm bolt to undo us the one on the top with the yellow arrow? once out just spray and whipe down? where are the pulser teeth located? thanks
