well today coming home from school I was about to turn over 110,000 miles and then BAM!!!! the gawd damn ABS light comes on! I was like WTF! what are the chances. So I get home BTW I have had the problem before and just added brake fluid and it fixed it and it hasn't come on in like 3 or 4 months. anywayz I go to fill it up with brake fluid and it was onlylike a hair below on one side and then even on the other side like it is slanted so i put a little in and I think I filled it too much. Now the fluid sits above that floating thing. Is it bad to overfill the brake fluid? should I just leave it or scoop out some?

 

just pump your breaks a few times with the lid off... Or use this as an opertunity to bleed out some old fluid!

 

does the motor have to be running when I pump the brakes?

 

no, 2 totaly seperate systems...

 

When I bought my 97 GT w/ 107,000 miles on it my ABS light was on. I too tried adding brake fluid, unfortunately that did not work. I ended up having to replace one of my wheel speed sensors. Good luck.
