Thread: Whats the shake in my brake pedal??

Ok guys, any thoughts?

110 TD5 with ABS & TC

My ABS light is on all the time, no fault logs recorded in Ecu, when I reset it to turn light off it comes back on pretty quickly.

Yesterday was sat stationary at traffic lights with engine on, out of gear & foot on brake pedal waiting for lights to turn green. All was normal and then I felt a rapid vibration in the brake pedal, not as violent / definate as when the ABS kicks in, but that type of feeling. It lasted for 2 or 3 seconds.

When the lights went green I set of as normal.

Since then I've felt it a few times, once whilst braking and coming to a halt. I'm pretty sure I've felt it before yesterday when driving and the mrs says she has too.

Braking ability is not affected and generally the car pulls up to a halt in a straight and controlled manner.

Air-con was also turned off.


Any thoughts as to what could be causing the vibration in the pedal?

Thanks
Jon

Thanks. When you say hit with a hammer, do you mean a vertical blow to the long edge (top) of the sensor or a lateral blow to the small edges to the side of where the wire goes in?

I presume the latter thus pushing the sensors squarely back into the hub assemble.
