Re: Several issues
Yup abs issue mines flashing the same crap just waiting on my scanner to arrive. Start buy checking the wiring to the hubs and see if any are visibly damaged, you can also clean the connectors with electric cleaner then spray some dielectric grease to protect them. There's a few things you can check yourself but you have to be willing to put in the effort or just take it to the shop.. Pay them a few bucks to scan it and tell you what the problem is.

Re: Several issues
Yea, I'd at least check the hubs, because they are easy. You can even do it from the EBTCM under the hood without jacking it up.

Re: Several issues
Sorry I'm some what of a noob on working on cars but what's the ebtcm and where under the hood. Also I've had it read with the obd2 reader from auto zone, that plugs in under the dash

Re: Several issues
thats not the same scanner, thats for engine codes. you need a abs scanner, most shops will charge you to scan the car. less then a dealer tho.

Re: Several issues
Over by the brakes is the EBTCM (Electronic Brake &Traction Control Module). Let me dig up a picture of it. Do you know how to use a multimeter?

Re: Several issues
Somewhat but I have plenty of friends who do

Re: Several issues
I talked to my mechanic and he said he will look at it for me. Also I seem to have an oil leak somewhere and I can't find it. Any tips on finding it? I also noticed oil burning off the exhaust at the rear end by the rear passenger tire at the curve in the exhaust. I put some off the oil stop leak stuff in it to hold me over until I can get it home and on a car lift. I'm currently 1800 miles away from home on leave from the military but I'm driving from VA to TX in the morning

Re: Several issues
So after driving it to TX I found the oil seems to be coming from the bottom of the engine near the pullys it's not the oil filter or the oil drain plug and I'm also finding chunks of rubber in that area. It doesn't feel like tire any clues what it is

Re: Several issues
maybe oil pan gasket leak and motor mount disintegrating.
-
Re: Several issues
OK the mount I figured ty is there anyways to check the gasket I don't have my hanes manual with me it about 600 miles away

Re: Several issues
Do I need to drop the oil pan
-
Re: Several issues
sounds like a crank seal in the timing cover. if its a fast steady drip. oil pans just get wet and drip here and there.
-
Re: Several issues
Ya it not real fast but it's steady when it is running
-
Re: Several issues
get the car on ramps, de grease the engine underside, then fire it up, get back under it and watch it to leak and follow the trail of oil to its source.
i like to move the car to a dry place so im not laying in a puddle lol
-
Re: Several issues
Ya the oil pan seal looks like its missing pieces and that's where it's coming from I think. How hard is it to change that seal
-
Re: Several issues
if you got it all cleaned up, take some pics or a vid of the leak from under the car.
-
Re: Several issues
I will if I can find it I sprayed under it by removing the tire and now it's leaking so little I'm having trouble finding it but if I find it I'll post pics or vid of it
-
Re: Several issues
check the sending unit too.
-
Re: Several issues
Where is the sending unit? And I drove it for 30th min and let it sit and run on rams for an hour I can tell its leaking I see fresh oil under the car and on the frame but when watching I can't see it drip or flow I've even jacked it up and pulled the passenger tire off and couldn't see where it's coming from but it's very slow if it's still leaking
