HELP! ABS Issues and Symptom Identification

[Lovlyemmz]

Hello, helpful cruiser folks! I have a 95' cruiser with no lockers with an ABS light on. The story goes: I was in the Chick-Fil-A drive-thru and my ABS light came on. The end. Nothing out of the norm.
I test all the connectors on the wheel sensors for proper resistance and all are fine. I cleaned each wheel sensor thoroughly. My speedometer works great and my engine does not lag. (This is my ruling out of the axle speed sensors). I did test my ABS system on a rainy day and it doesn’t work. My wheels lock up. I tested my ABS system with the e1 tc method and found a flashing sequence as such. (* being a flash)
-4 seconds- * -2.5 seconds- * -2.5 seconds- *- 1 second- * 1 second- * 1 second- * etc.
the one-second flashing in total about 6-8 times before the whole sequence starts over. I may mention as well that my cruise control light flashed in between each 1-second flash during my test.

I have come to the conclusion based on the diagnosis sheet that I have either code 11 or 21 based on the similarities in sequence.
Also, I did try wiggling the ABS solenoid relay behind the ABS module and this did not work.

Can I get some clarification on what to check for 11 and 21? Or am I incorrect in my code diagnosis? Has anyone had similar issues. Please help. Thank you!

the e1 tc method

Whats that? how do you test? Just did knuckles and brake calipers suddenly have ABS light. Triple-locked with transfer case no CDL switch and bothe lockers lock repeatedly. So if I understand this means sensors OK.

"If the computer has not detected a malfunction, the lamp will blink two times per second after a two second pause. When a malfunction has been detected there will be a 4 second pause, then the first digit will begin. The number of times the lamp blinks before a one and a half second pause is the first digit of the code. Next, the number of blinks before the second pause is the second digit of the code."

The ABS light means the system has been disabled in conjunction of locking the CDL but doesn't give you any information related to ABS sensors. The method to retrieve error codes is documented in the FSM. E1 TC are terminals in the diagnostic connected that need to be connected together to enable the ABS diagnostic mode.

Your ABS doesn’t work? Phew. Crisis averted.

The ABS system on these 80’s is terrifying. My experience has been that if the ABS is operational and you attempt to stop or slow down on snow or ice you are in for a dreadful surprise. I disconnected mine and I am pleased with the result, just wish I could get the light to turn off with out dissecting the dash.
