TCS, NO ABS, BRAKE lights came on after fill up? I filled the tank up today and left the gas station and my NO ABS, TCS, BRAKE lights all lit up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
So I drove the car home real slow( kinda scary when all your brake malfunction lights come on) and parked it and shut it down and waited 3 minutes and restarted and went for a drive and the lights never came back on.
I ran ATAP on it and it pulled nothing up at all?
Has anyone ever expirenced this? Causes? Cures?
Thanks,
J

Re: TCS, NO ABS, BRAKE lights came on after fill up? hey man whats up...
i get those lights(except TCS/Dont have that) with my et streets on the rear. For some reason I will set those lights because there is a 2.5 inch difference in tire height from fronts and rear. I can put my 17's on the rear and run skinnies with no light, 17's all around, but whenever I run the 26x10.5x15's on the rear I set those damn lights. Still have brakes though..
after I turn car off the light goes away, but returns at different times. Usually 10-15mins after. I just ignore them the slicks now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: TCS, NO ABS, BRAKE lights came on after fill up? I recently dynoed my car. After I started it to leave, the ABS INOP light was on for 15 minutes, then just went off. It was really weird.

Re: TCS, NO ABS, BRAKE lights came on after fill up? That is a normal phenonenon that the ABS INOP would come on after a dyno pull and you leave the dyno. It goes away witht he normal driving of all four wheels now moving.
Yes, the Brake and ABS lights come on when the tire heights are too disimilar. It comes on when you reach a certain speed, not a length of time... and that should depend on how much of a height difference there is. I have ET Streets, too; 11.5x26x16's (which I've determined are actually 27" tall on my stock rim).

Re: TCS, NO ABS, BRAKE lights came on after fill up? WHEW <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I thought something might be happening that was going to cost me mod money <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
98TA I have some questions for you regarding what I bought from you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Thanks for helping me out with this problem.
WS6Green I get that after the dyno but knew about that a long time ago but thanks for the help <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
BlackLS1 T/A I run MT ET Streets, 26-11.5-15's on my Prostars. I didn't think they would set of any codes but oh well, it hasn't returned I will forget about it for now. I guess the BFGs I used to run were the right height, and not too tall to set this series of lights off huh? <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: TCS, NO ABS, BRAKE lights came on after fill up? I also once had all my lights pop on. Scared the bejesus outa me. I pulled into a gas station, shut her off, started her back up, and the lights were gone. This was just normal driving, stock tire size. Just a fluke imho. Had the car for 2 years and its only done it once.
