Default Service Engine, ABS INOP, BRAKE, lights

My service engine is reading wrong about my 02 sensors because of my exhaust... I was wondering what the best thing to do was other than getting it tuned... do the spark plug defouler things really work??

I heard about just getting a resistor to put in there to make it think the o2 was reading correct.


The ABS INOP and Brake lights are staying on also.

the brake light goes off when i put the emergency brake down, but when i start moving forward it kicks on and doesnt go off. i can go in reverse and it wont kick on though..



any input i would appreciate.

thanks

Never heard of plugging a resistor in the O2 sensor connector.

You either have to get it tuned out or install an 02 simulator.

Did the ABS INOP and Brake lights just come on out of nowhere? Did you do any mods?

Check your brake fluid level.

You need to get the car scanned for codes.

That will tell you what is up with the ABS and what not.
