Default ABS INOP after line lock?

What the heck, after I installed and tested ( thats fun <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> )it my ABS INOP light came on. So I drove home, turned it off, and came back to the car about 2 hours later. Still came on - but went away after a bit. Whats the deal? Was/Is my ABS really inoperable, or is the computer just confused?

The PCM is confused. Mine does the same exact thing. I don't worry about it. The light clears after you turn the car off and restart.

Which line lock system did you get?

PCM gets confused because front wheels are not moving and reasrs are, sort of like on the dyno. The ABS light comes on then too most of the times.

When the ABS light is on, your ABS is not working.

Mine did the same thing on the dyno, but it turned out that one of my friends was behind me and they saw something hanging down...the actual senser was pulled off when it was on the dyno... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Dash board lites up like a pinball machine if I do a burnout with the ASR on. But other than that, no problems.

My car won't burn out with the ASR on, how does yours? <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">
Like 1badls1bird said, ABS light can come on during a bunout, on the dyno, you can even jack the rear end up and put it in gear and it will come on.

Didn't say I did it well and didn't say I did it often and never did it on purpose ... but it sure makes the dashboard look purty <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0">

Biondi solenoid and switches, summit install kit. Totaled came to $90, but if you know what your getting, I could see it possible to duplicate it for $60.
