We are trying to resurrect a neglected 91 Pathfinder (4WD, 360k miles). We have it running well, but are still having problems with the brakes. They stop fine, good pedal, etc, but the ABS light is on all the time, and if you press hard on the brake pedal at idle, it stalls the engine. I don't thik the problems are related, but am not sure. Could the stalling indicate a bad booster or vacuum leak? How can we troubleshoot the ABS? Thanks - Brian
Sounds like a vacuum leak in the line or booster. Forget the ABS. Fix it with a piece of electrical tape over the light.
The ABS failed on my '91. My mechanic
How do you disconnect the ABS? Brian
Piece of tape over the light is the easiest way. If you are purist, also pull the fuse so the pump doesn't try to run.
I believe the mechanic cut the wires to the pump and taped them off.
