I am fairly mechanically inclined worked on my cars except not much
knowledge on ABS systems.
First off started with when starting from a stop or in the morning
there would be a couple of clunks. As if the transmission did not engage.
If I pushed the TOC button it didn't happen or (automatic transmission).
I put it in first or second gear "clunks" did not happen.
Then the brakes froze/locked up the other day not fully. The "gets hot then fully locked."
But even after some cool down still had to be towed.
I've worked on brakes a bunch on my old cars trucks.
I did a bunch of reading on this, so I am not just "blind" asking this question.
Just no ABS knowledge.
Brakes froze on overheating
1.) Master Cylinder well that was replaced about five years ago.
Currently the car is up on blocks and I have removed all the calipers.
Well the calipers are just "hanging" as it were. So nothing touching the pads directly.
Yesterday and today turning the engine pressing the accelerator.
A lot of "clicking" and clunking (new type) from the passenger right front.
Which is the ABS actuator.
The noise only starts when I push the accelerator IE: increase rotation on the wheels.
If I push the "TOC Button" disengages tracking control the "clicking" noise from Actuator and clunking stops.
2.) Checked the Tone Rings. Fine no cracks missing teeth etc.
3.) Brake pedal free play is fine.
4.) I have an Actron Auto Scanner CP9575.
No codes are shown to this problem.
Maybe 2003 model doesn't show any ABS information (most likely).
With the calipers off the wheels I don't think master cylinder.
Tone Rings intact.
No way to analyze sensors of ABS system with Actron.
The ABS light does not come on except after extensive "testing, "
that is it doesn't automatically come on.
Thanks a bunch group.
