deja Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Is there a switch other than the one on the brake pedal that monitors the brakes on a 280Z? I have switched to a different gauge cluster and wiring harness in my LT1 swap and the ABS warning light is on all the time. I know there is usually a switch on a proportioning valve that monitors the front/rear pressure but I don't think our cars have that, at least mine doesn't. From what I've found searching Datsuns simply monitor the pedal switch. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deja Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Handbrake switch? That could be it. Thats not hooked to anything yet. But I remember my AMX had a switch on the proportioning valve that would look for a drop in pressure on both front and back systems and would light up the warning light if something went wrong. Gonna have to go through the Z28 manual to see how the e-brake hooks into that light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Handbrake switch? I went to http://shbox.com/page/index.html and looked up the schematic for the ABS. Looks like that light is turned on by the electronic brake contol module (don't have that anymore). I may have to engineer my way around this one. I think the PCM is going to kick a code unless I can fake it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
