| | | 1993 G20 ABS issue, help please #740001 September 01st 2018 3:42 pm | Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 10 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 10 | My 1993 G20 had great brakes until I locked up when braking on a slippy road, ABS pump kicked in but afterwards the pedal travels almost to the floor before the brakes kick in. This happened before when I locked the wheels up a few years ago and I disconnected and reconnected the battery and everything returned to normal...unfortunately a battery reset has not made any difference this time. I have no abs trouble codes apart from code 12 which is supposed to be there I believe and all fuses are ok. The pump runs ok when it does its self test. We are supposed to be heading to the european drag race finals in 3 days so I am starting to panic a bit..
can anyone offer any help or point me in the direction of someone who can ?

Does the van roll, is there a wheel locked up, does the brake pedal pulse, does the abs light stay on ?

Van rolls and drives ok, no pulse from pedal just excessive travel, when you first press the pedal softly van begins to slow then the pedal gets softer again and goes almost to the floor before the brakes will come on harder, its driveable but feels horrible, abs light is coming on and going off as it should to do bulb test, never has came on and stayed on while driving. I finally found some info online about bleeding the pump and made two tools to depress the high pressure accumulator valves slackened the internal bleed screws and tried to bleed using the bleeders on the top of the unit..got good flow and no air out of the left bleeder but totally nothing out of the right...no fluid or air...when i crack open the left bleeder with someone pressing the pedal the pedal goes to the floor and fluid comes out as it should, crack open the right one and nothing comes out and the pedal remains firm...I have changed the brake fluid and bleed all at the wheels, getting good fluid flow to all wheels... I am starting to think something inside the abs pump has stuck..like a valve maybe... | | | Re: 1993 G20 ABS issue, help please | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Have you checked the Proportioning Valve ?

As all was ok until the ABS activated I have to assume something stuck in the pump, a piston or valve...I am gonna have to head off on our trip as is as I am working 2 long days monday and tuesday, so will just have to drive with some caution...not ideal by any means..
with the locking tools in place and the internal bleeds open the pump should be a cinch to bleed but not in this case.. even tried a vacuum bleeder on it put it could pull no air or fluid through at all even with the nipple all the way out the brake pedal pumps up solid | | |
