Hey everyone. I drive a 2001 CR-V EX and unfortunately the ABS has been busted for a couple of years now. I live in a region where we almost never get snow/ice and I never slam on my breaks, so it's never been an issue, but I would like to see if I can figure out exactly what's causing it, and if it's a relatively easy fix, I'd like to get my ABS engaged again.
Backstory: A couple years ago, I started noticing a bit of a vibration when braking, so I went to the Jiffy Lube down the street to get a brake inspection. The tech discovered that my brakes were fine, but the driver's side front CV axle had a massive crack in it. I was like, [Edited Out] that I don't want to drive this car in that condition, please replace the axle if you're able to do that here. And the tech was like yeah, for sure, we can do that no problem. Spoiler alert: it was a problem. I've learned my lesson. Jiffy Lube is for lube only.
The tech did successfully replace my axle and the axle is fine. But after replacing the axle, the tech took the car on a test drive around the parking lot and I heard a pop/snap. After that test drive, any time you're driving at a low-ish speed, like less than 30 mph, and you apply the brakes, the front driver's side brakes make this weird clicking/ticking/grinding sound. It sounds like the ABS is trying to engage when it shouldn't be, it clicks in that same stuttered rhythm as the ABS. The techs tried to figure out what happened but I was like [Edited Out] guys I don't trust you anymore, so I took it to a different mechanic my friend recommended and just asked him to inspect it and make sure my brakes were fine and disconnect my ABS system so it wouldn't click anymore.
So since then, my ABS has been disconnected. But if I reconnect it, it makes that clicking/grinding noise. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Wheel speed sensor or something like that?
