If the answer is yes to both questions this really throws a wrench into my theory that ice mode was only related to heat buildup boiling the brake fluid. In my Z, I have completely cured (or I thought) ice mode by upgrading to CarboTech XP10/8 pads, Castrol SRF brake fluid, and brake ducts. Mind you that I run at Summit Point which has only two heavy brake events both under 125 mph.
My problem with the abs theory on this forum was that all the posts seemed to be speculation. I had never seen (or read) any real substantive evidence pointing to the abs. However, if pulling the fuse completely cured the problem this seems to be the first substantive repeatable evidence that there are some gremlins in the abs system.
I think you may have ruined my day…  |
I still standby that it is heat related. The heat in the front is either affecting the brake balance or in some other way affecting the ABS system. At auto-x if I spray down the front brakes after each run (yes I know this is very bad) then I don't get ice-mode at all, if I let them ride then I get spontaneous ice mode once the rotors get above 300F (post run measurement).
