2005 Mazda Tribute, ABS light on 4wd flashing.

I know it's most likely a sensor and I plan on getting it scanned. However I just replaced the ECM, plugs and coils and alternator. Is there a chance the ABS sensor could have been a part of the ECM failure? Car is running fine now. I had a coil go on cylinder 4.

The ABS system uses a separate computer

Testimonial: "I just wondered if the ECM failure could cause a misread on the ABS system. I wasn't thinking the ABS fried the ECM."

SOURCE: mercedes c200 elegance 1996 model mis-firing on cylinders 1-4

I beleive your firing order is 1 3 4 2. 1 and 4 are companion cylinders-meaning the piston is up or down at the same time i.e. compression and exhaust stroke both pistons are up and even on the exhaust stroke the ignition fires in order to burn unburnt fuel/ h ve you checked your trigger. There is a good coil testing tool that is placed over the coil and has a magnetic pickup that allows you to see if the coil is being triggered-just because you have power doesn't mean that you will have spark. I would replace your ignition wires and look at your wiring harness very carefully- if it is very brittle and you see bare wires exposed that is your most likley problem because the trigger is working for 1 and 3 and has the crank senser input for all for spark plugs and the cam senser is used for ignition advance and your fuel injection system. try wiggling your harness and see if your coils start to work. wireharnesses are a major problem on mercedes benz vehicles of that era. I hope I have been helpful

I would be thinking that there is a good chance that you need to be checking out replacing the computer, if you aren't getting any communication with the proper scan tool then the computer isn't communicating with anything in the vehicle...... I would have guessed first off that the ignition control module might be bad but that is obviously part of the computer also, I would be looking in that direction.

SOURCE: i have replaced all 6 coils and plugs and the

start by disconnecting power to each cylinder, one at a time until you find the cylinder that does not affect the idle speed. This will be the dead cylinder. If you have spark to this cylinder, impulse to the fuel injector plug and compression is good then replace the fuel injector for the dead cylinder. Normally your check engine light will be on if you have a misfire. by reading the codes you will know which cylinder is at fault.

ABS light on, flashing 4wd 2005 Mazda Tribute

Even though your anit-lock brake system light comes on, dosen't mean your brakes will not work. All the ABS does, when applying the breaks, it compensates breaking power like pulsating your pads off and on the rotor in which without ABS your doing the same thing manually by pressing n releasing the brake pedal. And usually half the time it's a sensor that goes out and can be checked at your local autozone or auto parts store where they can plug into your car and will display a code that pertains to your ABS problem. Hope this helps.

2008 mazda tribute abs and all wheel problem when you start the vehicle all lights are out after computer check but drive 1 km abs lights and all wheel lights comes back on

That's telling us that the abs is passing the self check when you turn on the key. When th e light comes on after you start moving it usually means that a sensor is not sending a single or a signal is messed up. A scan tool will tell you wich wheel to focus on. It is fairly common for the exciter rings on the front drive axles to break and cause this code. It wouldn't hurt to inspect these for crackps or misalignment. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

On my 2006 mazda tribute, the abs light came on, wnet off and came back on again. the car has plenty of brake fluid. . .what could be wrong?

Hello and thanks for the question,
The anti lock brakes system is somewhat complex. There are many reasons as to why the ABS lamp flashed on and the back off ( ie. Wheel speed sensors, relays, poor power supply, bad grounds). There's really no other way of telling without haveing the codes retrieved from the ABS module( computer).

Had new front brake pads and rotors installed last week. Get grinding noise in reverse when first starting out then it goes away. ABS light and 4 wheel drive light come on and flash. Brakes work fine, what...

First have the brakes checked, the abs and 4wd lights need to be checked, this is done with a scan tool, the computer stores codes telling you what part of what system has failed this will help in finding the problem, the noise my be a bad wheel bearing and has gotten bad to the point it has damaged the abs sensor and has made the lights come on , this is a guess you will need to have the computer scanned to get the codes. hope this helps, good luck.

My ABS light stays on and the 4wd light keeps blinking.

The first thing you need to do is to have the abs computer scanned for codes, the abs may be related to the 4wd problem, by scanning the codes this will give you an idea of the problem, for example they scan it and it reads p1542 rt frt sensor out of spec, this would mean theres a problem with the right front speed sensor, when ever the computer sees a problem it stores a code and turns on the light for whatr ever system fails, hope this helps.
