Default ABS light...please help

Not sure if this is the right section... if not could a mod please move it.

I have a 2000 camaro SS, and my abs inop light is on. I was told running a different front and rear tire diameter would cause this? Is this true? and would this also cause my brake and service vehicle light to be on??
Thanks for any help

I've read on here that it does cause it as well except for the service engine soon light. That would be different problem. Get it scanned to see what is causing the SES light.

Also check the abs sensors as well. One of my ties broke and cause some rubbing on the wires so it's now throwing the ABS INOP light.

To pull codes for the abs light you need a scanner that is capable of reading them. Also check your third brake light. On my old camaro I had An abs inop light on and on my third brake light bulbs were out and I replaced it and it went off temporarily. A few weeks later it turned back on and turns out my whole abs system had to be replaced. Hopefully yours is not the case.
