Default Emergency brake help!

Hello! I have a problem with my GS 300!
I have a Low Brake Pedal.
Brake pedal goes all the way to floor, after ABS was activated! (ABS active on each brakes i don' know why!!!! ) ABS playing with my brake pedal all the braking!!!! Traction control warning light repeatedly flashes!
My ABS sensor recently repaired. The brakes have recently replaced.
HELP!!!

Who ever 'fixed' your system made it worse.
How was the ABS sensor repaired? Was it replaced or 'repaired'?

Take your car to a competent shop and send the bill to the shop that messed up your brakes.

Tell them to hook up a good scan tool and test your "repaired" sensor.

I would never repair an ABS sensor....only replace.

I agree that the shop needs to take care of this and that includes a new ABS sensor...not repaired.

If the wire is just damaged you can repair it but if the wire has been ripped out of the sensor itself I wouldn't try and use it again.

Look for a good used sensor on ebay. a new one is pricey. and use the OEM one. if that cheapo sensor is off by a hair it will not work properly.

I buyed a new ABS sensor on e-bay.
Abs error codes cleared ABS, VSC OFF no lights up but ABS active on each brakes.... This is very dangerous!!! I can't stop normal...ideas?

I'm sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread but I've been noticing that it takes me a few pull before my e-break is release. No warning lights on dash.

Your problem with abs activation on brake application can be checked eaisly. Follow my steps very carefully. Jack your vehicle up and place it on stands in a safe manner. Get a very bright light lay under the car and check every sensor , you will be looking for the sensor that is not sitting flat very flat. The one with the slightest imperfection is you problem. Remove it very careful and clean the surface its sitting on. Its normally rusted that causses it to swell . It must be very clean . Reinstall sensor and check for a flat sitting as the good ones. Once you get it good test drive .
