LOW TRAC LIGHT!!!!! Help Please
I just installed a new rear end and after the install the ABS INOP Light came on. Well I figured out why it was on and fixed it (one of the connections was loose). Now I drove the car around and it was fine but than the LOW TRAC light came on. The tires weren't spinning at all actually I was doing about 90mph when it came on than when I let off the gas and the car slowed down it went off so I brought it back up to about 90 again and it did it again. Any ideas of why this could be happening?
Thanks

Make sure the new reluctor wheels on the axle have the same number of teeth as the old ones, a few early cars had a different number of teeth. The TCS compares the speed of all 4 wheels and if the rears are spinning faster then the fronts the low trac light will come on so either those are wrong or you have a big mismatch in front and rear tire diameter. Usually when that happens if you get down hard on the brakes the ABS will come on at higher speeds so be carefull.
Thats my guess anyhow..
