How does ABS system know when a tire has low pressure?
i am a mechanic at bmw. if you are refering to runflat warning systems the idea is that the wheel speed sensors, which also are integral for your ABS system, can detect change in tyre speed.
The reason that the wheel speed information can be taken as tyre pressure is because a fully pumped up tyre has a larger circumference that a flat one, therefore a pumped up tyre rotates slower than a flat.
The wheel speed sensors send info on all tyre speeds to the cars computer system which compares them. when they are out of a specified tollerence then the flat tyre warning light will be turned on. This only works for sudden or consistent loss of pressure and the warning usually isnt activated for slow pressure loss, which is normal across all tyres.
Where is the transmission oil filled on a 89 Ford Laser?
Well granted I have never seen a Laser since it was only marketed in non-us markets. I believe it was the Escort in the USA. But it should fill thru the DipStick hole.
Hope This Helps.
In earlier models 82-87 you have to remove the speedo drive cable and fill it through there if it's manual, so I assume it would would be the same for 89.
check the coolant and water levels. if they are all good, there may be a blockage in your radiator or pipes to the raiator
refit the head bolts and then back them off one turn, make sure all the timing gear is connected, refit the spark plugs but dont push on the plug leads, crank over the engine for a few seconds. the compression created by the pistons will cause the head gasket to break the seal. Or try tapping head from the sides.
Most likely not, its probably just condensation in the pipes. If it was an engine problem, it would be a blown head gasket and if the car hasn't been running really hot that's probably not your problem.

Where can I buy a water pump backing plate for 1983 Ford Laser kb?
You don't say where you are so I'll assume the US somewhere. Parts companies such as autozone or napa should have a pump for you for cheap, the dealer (ford) tends to discontinue parts after they reach a certain age.
Hope that helps or else throw more info into the question.
