Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Trucks / May 2008abs brakes
I am curious. Does anyone else have the feeling that thier abs system is way to sensative? Is I brake on sand or hit a bump while braking the dang abs motor comes on and the brakes work poorly. I live in new england and the roads are a bit bumpy! Is there a way to adjust the motor to be less touchy? There should be no adjustments. When was the last time the brake fluid was flushed? > I am curious. Does anyone else have the feeling that thier abs system is way > to sensative?

If you press the pedal strong enough to stop a tire, the ABS is supposed to kick in and allow the tire to turn. This ability lets you retain directional stability -- the vehicle will turn if you ask it to instead of continue on the straight line path that the skid and motion have put it onto. >>I am curious.

"Oversensitive" ABS systems often mean "crappy tires". Improved traction = less ABS activations well i probably should have said that it is an 07 tacoma. it is equiped with the original tires. it has only 7k miles. i do understand how and why abs works. i think it is a wonderful thing, but i also feel that the system is very touchy. i have had several vehicles with abs and this taco is the only vehicle that is this way. i have had several toyotas with a ford and a chevy mixed in there some where. i keep coming back to yotas. i'm not complaining i was curious. >I am curious.

Firm braking while going over a bump causing the ABS to activtate. Bled the system and got rid of that. I know it's a 07, but that's why I was asking if the system was flushed. I use Castrol GT LMA (Low Moisture Activity) or Valvoline SynPower brake fluids. I'd stay away from Toyota's CCI made brake fluids. > well i probably should have said that it is an 07 tacoma. it is equiped with > the original tires. it has only 7k miles.
