Cleaning ABS Branke Sensors 850

posted by  someone claiming to be PizzaPete on  Tue May 21 21:50 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I had the ABS lamp come on under hard acceleration. Cleaned all sensors but no good (used normal brake cleaner, which worked OK).
It turned out to be a faulty EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) control valve. It was actually leaking some brake fluid so it was fairly obvious but it does not always do this. The valve is located at the main brake cylinder.

My car is a 1996 850 GLT, i think the brake servo and ABS system was changed on this year, so earlier models may differ.

Just my $0.02
