ABS G-Sensor location and ABS error code 16?

Hi All,

I'd like to know where to find the G-Sensor in a '91 Legacy SS 5MT. I know that it should be somewhere under the hood, but I don't know where exactly it's located. It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

Here's a picture of it that I found on an auction site:

My ABS unit is throwing "code 16", which according to this FSM:

and this post:
http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic. ... ht=gsensor
is:
16 - G-sensor or other unidentified problem

I figure that the G-Sensor in my Leggie is either disconnected, or toast. If that doesn't turn out to be a problem, then what else could be causing ABS Code 16 to show up?


Thanks,
P.

Ok. I found the G-Sensor module. It's mounted on the bottom of the driver's side shock-tower beside the turbocharger. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow :)

Today I took the G-Sensor out, cleaned up all the grounds and connectors and hopefully tomorrow my ABS unit won't throw error code #16 anymore.


Cheers!
