I was wondering if anyone could comment on the following problem.
I have 2004 Camry in immaculate condition, bought it with only 8200 miles. The original owner says it has ABS. But the ABS light never comes on. Never at all - not when I turn ignition key to on, not when I start the car or break hard. I do feel pulsation in the break pedal when I break quite often. Especially when I break on slow speeds - 10 to 30 mph, the pedal sometimes vibrates and sometimes doesn't. It never vibrates only slightly. Always with the same force, or doesn't vibrate at all.
Anyone, any suggestions as to why this happens? Is there a test procedure to check if ABS works? Is it easy to replace the indicator lamp? What repair manual whould you recommend for all of the above info?
I have recently bought a repair manual at obsidiancorp.com. It is presumably the original Toyota manual, but it lacks chapters 2, and 3 to 9. It has 1500 pages, and what it has seems to be detailed and descent. Chapter 5 contains ABS and SRS procedures, and is itself 2200 pages, so the manual is not even
50% complete. Does anyone know where I can find those missing chapters from toyota manual, or buy the whole manual on CD? Are Haynes manuals any good? Anyway, they don't have 2004 Camry, AFAIK, so it's not an option. I don't want to pay $300 for paper manuals from the dealer , because 1) I might have cheaper options 2) I want a manual on CD in PDF, so that I can search easily and it doesn't wear and tear, and I can store it withough taking up preciou space on the bookshelves.Sergiy
