Was it smogged on a rolling fixture similar to a dyno? If so, I think the fact the rear tires drive and the front dont move will throw the lights, but they should go away.

Have you looked to make sure the reluctor rings and sensors all look to be in order at the axle ends?..

We have experienced these same problems after a car has been on our dyno, and it that is the cause you're right, it should go away.

I agree, check everything out at the housing ends if the light continues to stay on. If you continue to have a problem, give the vendor that you bought the rear from a call and see what they can do to help you out. Bob

Did the same for me after I got off a dyno. Turn the car off and it should reset itself after a new drive cycle
