hi,I have a toyota Starlet EP91 automatic. My problem is when I apply brakes the car pulls to left.I found that no brake fluid is coming to the front right cylinders. I disconnected the tube leading to the front right wheel at the ABS modulator and found that brake fluid is not coming out of it. My ABS indicator light does not stay on and ABS system operates when braking hard. Can anybody advice me what to do please?.Can there be any effect on other components iIf I revome the ABS fuse to use the car without ABS ?.

If you have no fluid it is a good chance that the rubbber line to the wheel is bad.

If you disconnect the ABS the system returns to normal braking but I strongly suggest that you repair instead of disconnect.

Suggested Repair

Inspect the rubber brake hose to the front right wheel, since no fluid reaching that wheel often indicates a failed hose. Repair the brake hydraulic fault rather than pulling the ABS fuse; disabling ABS may restore basic braking but is not a substitute for fixing the leak or blockage.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a Toyota Starlet EP91 automatic reports the car pulls left under braking and that no brake fluid reaches the front right wheel cylinders. Fluid also does not come out of the ABS modulator when the line to that wheel is disconnected. The ABS light does not stay on and ABS still works in hard braking. The owner asks whether removing the ABS fuse is safe. The expert says a bad rubber line to the wheel is a likely cause of no fluid and advises repairing the system instead of disconnecting ABS, noting that disconnecting ABS returns the car to normal braking.
