Ford ProbeThe Probe appeared in 1988 and lasted until 1997 in the United States. It was based on a series of futuristic concept cars of the early 1980s, the likes of which have been seen in films like Judge Dredd, Back to the Future Part II and Total Recall. It was a coupe based on the Mazda GD platform, and was powered by a 2.2 L SOHC I4 cylinder Mazda F2 engine.
Hello Ford probe Community. I am a new Probe GT owner and new to this site.
I recently began shopping for my daughter a good used car. I was impressed with the quality and drivability of the Ford Probes that I test drove. I purchased a low mileage (62,000) 1994 GT with the V6 and 5 speed.
Everything is wonderful however when it is driven for the first time of the day, the ABS will activate when you hit the brakes the first few times. The pedal will modulate and the ABS pump will run. Some times the 'anti lock' light will come on but goes out after a few re-starts. After the first 5 minutes the brakes are completely normal.
Has anyone heard of this problem? We had new tires put on and that helped but the problem persists. Any ideas?
Its not to do with tires thats for sure.
When the abs lite comes on, the abs "system" is taken offline to permit safe braking..
With intermittent activity being harder to troubleshoot, but consistantcy helps...
I suspect very dirty brake fluid system and or abs controller goin..
