Default Rear End Swap and now ABS light

So I installed a Moser 12 bolt rear end and now I have an intermittent ABS light. Is this a common occurrence if so what’s the fix?

Join the club. Best thing I can say is do some reading here to get a good understanding of the abs system, then have your abs code read to see where to start your troubleshooting. Good luck....I ended up deleting mine.

Yea delete ABS and traction control if you have it. I deleted mine in the Camaro when I did a 9in. And my mustang doesn't have ABS or traction control either. I prefer not having ABS I hate the pulsating pedal thing. And traction control is your right foot!

4 channels seem to have the most issues. I bet that's what he has.

Yes they should be the same but there is a tolerance for error that's allowed.

If the style is correct (3ch vs 4ch) then I would be looking
at the wheel speed sensor gap to the reluctors (4ch) or
the ring sensor to reluctor teeth inside the pumpkin (3ch)
as well as the various connectors & harness branches.
