Hello everyone i got TL 2002 type s with 260 k and what i have noticed when i start drivig slow and turning wheels left or right my brake pedal vibrates and traction light blinks, when brake pedal vibrates it feels like when you push brake on wet road and abs system kicks in, thats how pedal feels. It only happens on slow speed per example comming out of a parking spot.

 

have you looked at the brakes yet?- ck the speed sensors are not damaged from road debris hit or wire issues
the sensor rings are clean to get a good reading?
If a speed sensor is saying a wheel is spinning faster it will apply that brake and flash the light.. as you are experiencing

ask a parts store for a free code reading--report any found back here

are you getting ABS happening in normal braking?,,it should only come on in full stomp on the brakes wet/slippery situations..it so thats part of the problem

 

Are speed sensonrs located on both front wheels?

 

I thought our speed sensor was on the trans.

 

There is one on each wheel to determine the wheel speed difference to know if 1 wheel is locked up over the other for the brakes/tcs

 

4 wheel ABS = 4 wheels with a sensor and sensor ring to feed the computer `wheel speed` info

internal sensor/wire corrosion is common -seen both front and rears have same problem
Also easily damaged during careless placement of caliper during brake job

 

If there's one there it's probably for the speedometer.

 

I figured problem, one of the front speed sensors had damaged wire before by previous owner, what he did instead of buying new one he just used ectric tape and reconected them by doing sloppy insulation. When i opened up i foud lot of moisture inside

 

Did you get one from parts store or dealer...price?
good find on that!!
always ck prior work, or most recent work,, when odd problems occur

 

I haven't purchased one yet, looking for reasonable price.
