He is not in the US, so what other name might that type of flush be called?

 

i have no idea, im sure that theres a company like bg over there though. anywhere like NTB or, and i hate saying it but, Jiffy Lube have machines thatll do this. just be sure that its pressurized, not just suction. its the difference of say blowing shop air through a filter and using a vacuum on it, you get a lot more debris out with the shop air... by the way, and i didnt even check to see if i missed it, and this goes double for anything electrical, but please mention if the car is US spec or not. just as with this ECU, its behind the glove box here, somewhere thats right hand drive, it very well might be behind the steering column

 

He has already disconnected the abs unit. Since he is in Peru, 'ECU' may be a reference to 'Electronic Control Unit' in many places it is not always just specifically 'Engine Control Unit' as is often the case here in the states - I tried to do a bit of reading between the lines. Knowing that the 'ECU (American)' has nothing to do with his problem, my take was when the mechanic told him the problem was with the 'ECU' they were making reference to what we commonly call the 'control board' here in the States. It appears his mechanic was telling him that it wasn't a mechanical problem with the ABS, but an electrical circuit problem. Furthur it seems that he caught wind of a good deal on an ECU (America ie Engine control Unit) and as we've all tried to indicate - THAT ECU isn't likely to solve any problem he seems to be having with his ABS. His problems seem to be with the electric control board (referenced as ABS ECU in some places). In a nutshell, he should continue to just drive the vehicle in the exact state he has been already - with the ABS unplugged.

 

RHD or LHD everything will be in the same spot only on the opposite side, so if it is behind the glove box here it will also be behind the glove box there.

 

i meant the abs ecu, as in the control unit that is behind the glove box, not the abs modulator, on a d1, the modulator(the one that has brake lines, not just wires) is just a slave, it does what its told and doesnt make descisions for itself, thats where the ecu comes into play, the ecu reads wheel speed, transmits that and if it sees lockup tells the modulator what to do. and yes, it can get confusing because of the number of ecus these cars have, but generally the engine ecu is refered to as an ecm, engine control module... either way, i agree that the abs ecu wont help, its much more likely for this to be a mechanical problem and not a electrical problem

 

Thank you guys, mine is a LHD, I think it isnīt a US spec. When I refer to the ECU, I mean Electronic control Unit for the ABS system, I agree that the Modulator is a slave cause when I unplugged the connectionto the ECU, the brakes where normal again, not a failure since.
The scanner showed constantly a ECU failure. My wife is a Pain in ... with this thing, she wants her truck to work properly.
What do you think Should I try with the ABS ECU, or you insist I should do a Big flush to the modulator, and discard any failure there.
I am not taking the truck to a dealer, cause they charge you just for breathing in their shop.
Thanks
