Cliff notes:
-My ABS is not functioning.
-Looking for someone to swap control units to test and see if this is the problem.
Long story short, bought the car for a great price, turns out the abs light was removed from the cluster, no big deal.
My tires have good tread but are a bit poor in the rain and I wanted to give myself a bit of an advantage.
I did some diagnostics, it was showing 2 codes, 51 and 53.
Motor Lock and
Motor Stuck ON
Reset the codes as per the manual and as per the manual motor lock code did not return.
that leaves me with just code 53, and the manual suggests that the abs control box is to blame.
So the quickest and easiest way for me to see if this is the case is to either give someone my box to plug into their car, or their box plugged into my car.
So, If anyone has a prelude that they don't mind pulling and swapping abs computers with me for a few minutes to see if it solves my problem.
If you are willing to help, pm me.
I would just meet you and plug in a box, clear the codes and start the motor back up and go for a short drive and go back and check for any codes.
Fairly straight forward.
I will be pulling my box sat morning, so if anyone feels like helping me out, the best time for me might be sat afternoon or sunday morning/afternoon.
It's the long weekend so I don't expect anyone to go out of their way to help me out, especially since this is not an emergency.
So if not, you can pm me and let me know when would be a good time in the future to meet up and do a 5 min swap and check.
Thanks.
I've attached a diagram if you aren't sure what I'm talking about or how to remove it.
