RE: '93 anti lock question
If you have a code reader, it would come in handy. BTW, they're only 20 some bucks at Walmart. Getting any codes?
I just got done changing the right rear sensor on a car. Without a reader, I wouldn't have known where to start and would've had to go through the process of throwing parts at.

Not sure which year Mark you have. The plug in for the ABS reader is on the right side. The way it works is the reader will beep so many times. The number of beep indicates which codes are stored in the car's computer memory. The code reader comes with a book that lists codes indicating problem areas.
It also works for engine/transmission reading.
Nothing on your car's dash board will do this. I would imagine, the only thing Faust is getting for a warning is the dash board light, cause the driver to do further research.

FWIW, I ran across this in the manual:
--------------------------------------
If brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder reservoir, the red BRAKE indicator will illuminate. If brake fluid level in the hydraulic control unit reservoir is low, the amber CHECK ANTI-LOCK BRAKE indicator will be illuminated.

RE: '93 anti lock question
You most likely lost a sensor. There is a magnetic pickup on each wheel that sticks out over what looks like a sprocket. The sprocket spins and the sensor detects the wheel speed. The system also uses this to see if your rear wheels spin faster than the front ones. If so, it engages the traction control. If you lose a sensor, the traction control will not be functional for this reason. I broke my sensors on the front when I dropped the K member.

I had the same thing with the ABS and the TRAC ASST lights. Couldn't figure it out until the brake pressure sensor went out and took out fuse #11. I just unplugged the sensor and replaced the fuse. After that the ABS and TRAC ASST lights went back to working normally.
