Default Abs inop and brake light
I just bought 2001 Chevy Camaro Z28. Car has ABS Inop light on shortly after driving. At the same time the Brake light comes on. Car has 18" Z06 wheels. My question is can the wheel and tire swap have anything to do with the ABS Inop and brake light? I would appreciate any help you can provide. Been outta the game since 2010. Just bought this car looking to stay in the loop.

Thanks
Jordan

What size are the tires. They need to be the same overall diameter or it throws it into a ABS fault.

245/50/ZR18 and stock is 245/50/16. Is that the problem?


Thanks

Wheel sensor frequency error... That is what the DTC is, here is a good read on trouble shooting ABS issues.
