Hi.. what if i just replace the part but dont bleed the brakes.. and what if i dont have a computer to reset codes or anything.. all i have is a wrench and cramp for the hose.. plz help
it could be a big risk if the brakes are not bleed. The codes can be reset by shorting the terminals in the obd port.. but since it requires electronic bleeding just invest in a scan tool that can do that. Autel MaxiAP is just $70 in Amazon.
I have the exact same issue. If I don't change the abs unit, will it be a major issue? How many miles can I drive with a faulty abs unit? My mechanical brakes work just fine.
What scan tool app do you use? I had trouble finding a scan tool that would run the abs pump. I replaced mine with a ebay abs pump and now it's having the issue again. I want to replace it and bleed the system correctly, but I'm lost on what scan tool to rent.

@@MHsearchingTruth just follow the instruction on the tool when you do the ABS bleeding. It's normally the rear that needs it, the front is just conventional bleeding

you will only have brakes at the front, no rears and it will be a safety issue. The lights in the dash will be annoying to while driving.

@HighMiles Garage thank you very much for the quick reply. I've had trouble distinguishing which obs tools will run the pump. Much appreciated.
