96 XJS ABS brake light
#21
I looked at this and am a bit confused.
The Note under General instructions says "Always bleed the caliper furthest away from the actuation unit first. On left-hand drive vehicles bleed Front Right, Front Left, Rear Right, Rear Left."
The "actuation unit" Is on the front right side of the engine bay so wouldn't the Rear Left be the furthest away? Seems backward to me.
Am I missing something?

On the front and rear, for LHD cars, start with the left side.

UPDATE
I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WHILE WORKING ON THE FRONT CALIPER BRAKE BLEED I ALSO CLEANED THE 28 pin connector located at the ABS ASSEMBLY.
I waited a while and decided to go to O’reilly’s auto partsto see if they could check the codes. On my way there the ABS LIGHT NEVER CAME ON.
I’m thinking the connector cleaning did it’s job. I have gone out for a drive twice and no ABS lights.
WILL KEEP THE GROUP POSTED IF CONDITION RE-OCCURS.

To all those with input.
I think I finally figured it out!!!!!!!!!????????
I test drove it again this morning……and the ABS LIGHT came back on 20mph.
here is what I did
1. Took the 28 pin connector apart again and cleaned again…….test drive…..ABS LIGHT BACK ON
2. Took the two (2) pin connector apart…….The plastic connector disintegrated in my hand……..AND…….The pins were completely covered in corrosion.
3. Cleaned thoroughly put the individual wires back on…..TEST DRIVE…..NO LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
The brakes felt actually better as though it took less pedal to stop?????
NOW I NEED TO FIND A NEW TWO (2) PIN CONNECTOR.
Again will keep you posted of any changes.
Thanks

What I did was remove the connector …..Plastic Housing…..Actually it separated from the female pins……male pins on the main housing. Sprayed Circuit cleaner on the male and female pins and brushed with toothbrush…..got cleaned good.
Vee,
At this point I have two (2)Female pins on wire leads and two (2)Male pins fixed position on the mating housing.
JUST PLUGGED THE FEMALE PINS TO THE MALE PINS (pins were sized differently) so it was easy to figure what goes where.
I then potted plugged pins FITTED WITHIN THE MALE HOUSING in SILICONE RTV.
FIGURED THIS WILL WORK TILL I COME UP WITH A PERMANENT SOLUTION.
probably along the lines of your suggested idea.
Thanks

Your Teves III ABS system is entirely different from the Teves IV system being discussed here. You'd be better off starting your own thread.
