lately i've been driving my s14 and my ABS light comes on sometimes then goes off when i turn off the car off then again it comes back on sometimes....random....when i got home today the ABS light was on and i turned off the car, but there was a running noise that keep going on in my engine....check the pic....top left hand corner of my twin camm engine.....it ran for bout 30 mins.....and it didn't stop so i unplugged the battery....came back an hour later and put it back on and that noise started up again...so i took off the battery again....i havn't tried driving it yet but what could this mean? help please...

that thing your pointing to is the abs in the bay..its like sending unit thing, i dont know the real name..but yeah.

i was thinking that, but why is it making a constant noise?.....i had the battery off for like two hours and i just put it bak on and it's still making a noise right when i connect the positive

so i went down and started my car and it was still making that noise....then i drove my car around the block and came back home turned it off and it wasn't making that noise....so i don't know what exactly that noise was, but it's gone for now....but i'm not sure if it's going to come back

How is your brake fluid level? I know this sounds weird but on my civic the abs light kept coming on at weird times, after some research turns out it does that when the brake fluid is low

it is a bit low....i was going to try that...thinks for the advise....prolly get some tomorrow

sounds like one or more solenoids in the actuator are acting up, the noise is normal when trailing over 5 or 10 mph but not when stopped. this should have thrown a code so you should have it retrieved.

is that a costly fix? the solenoids? i just got off work and now my s14 makes this grindy noise when my car is moving....and it stops when i stop....and the noise from the abs started acting up again.....but that noise went away

first you need to know what is wrong to be ale to fix it. the solenoids don't control themselves, they may not even be the problem at all.

i was thinking about changing the rear brake pads tomorrow...i think thats where that grindy noise is coming from.....
