ABS warning light when cold. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi,
search turned up one result that depicted a problem
similar to mine but not exactly.
During colder days/nights after 5-6 hours of parking I get a ABS warning
light. It comes on as soon as I get rolling. If I wait a minute or so and
turn the car off and back on I do not get the warning light. My solution for
now is to just let the car idle for a minute or two and let the
car warm up a little before I get going. I am sick of it!
Changed fluid, traced all the lines hard and electrical.
All is well.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

see about checking how clean the ABS rings are on all 4 corners. Grime could be built up and cold nights + humidity = low conduit(big word, its late). Not enough of an electrical signal for ABS sensor to read properly.
