Hello all, I have a 1989 Supra non-turbo of which I'm the original owner. The
car all of a sudden started to pull violently to the left when the brake pedal is pressed at speeds of 80mph and above. It does not do this at normal speeds, only when i drive fast and suddenly press on the brake pedal. The best way I can describe the symptoms is that it has a glazing feeling to the brakes, almost as if the rotors were not gripping the brake pads. The only way to stop it is to pump the brake pedal repeatedly until speeds reach below 80mph. To correct this problem I've done the following but still the problem persists. 1. Replaced front ABS Sensors (2) Replaced ABS computer with a used one (3) Replaced brake lines (4) Replaced front rotors, brake pads and calipers. In an attempt to isolate the problem, I disconnected the ABS computer and drove the car and it stopped just fine, without pulling to the left as before. Not sure what the problem could be so any help you guys could provide would be appreciated. Needless to say, my local Toyota dealership has no clue as to the problem, nor has any of the many mechanics that I've taken it to for diagnosis. Again, it brakes fine with ABS disconnected, and only happens at speeds of 80mph and above. |

Well...abs is not my strongest area of expertice, but after reading your post, if it were mine, I might go ahead and replace the sensor in the transmission that measures the rear wheel speed.
(since you've already done the others, and a little more $$ won't hurt) But...is the speed sensor at the speedo head used for abs?? Others that have had (unsolvable) abs problems have simply unplugged the abs computer, and gone on with life. But you are probably like me, and want things to work as they were designed to. Have you followed all the trouble shooting steps in the TSRM?? http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/librar.../br/BR_01.html |

No sir, I have not followed up with any trouble shooting steps in the TSRM
as I was relying on my mechanic and Toyota to come up with a diagnosis. As of right now the car is safely parked in my garage, but it bugs me to no end knowing that this problem exists. I'll probably spend some more money on it when Santa Claus delivers the loot to me for Christmas but I do appreciate your suggestions and will take the TSRM trouble shooting steps into consideration come next spring. Thanks again for your suggestions |
