Upgraded brakes from a 03 wrx

Post by Subiel94 »

So my car (94 subaru legacy turbo) has 03 wrx brake calipers. And it doesn't have the abs sensors hooked up. How can I make then sensors for those to work with my car? I'd really like to have abs on my car. I live in Ohio and winter is coming. Abs system is all new to me never had a vehicle with it but I want this car to have it. So if anyone has any ideas about how I could make it work it would be very helpful. It's just my front calipers. And I was told from previous owner they didn't match up so they didn't worry about it. But like I said if you have any idea about this please help me out.

The calipers have nothing to do with the ABS system. The ABS sensor plugs into the lower part of the back of the wheel hub, and there's one sensor per wheel.

This thread mentions how to pull up ABS error codes

Perhaps one of the sensors is bad, or the ABS tone ring on the wheel spindle has a broken spot, etc.

Yeah I didn't see anywires or anything when I took them off. But thanks for the lead. I'm gonna try and figure it out.
