Lost traction control and ABS no clue why I installed a driveshaft loop tonight and dropped the axle and unbolted the torque arm. I had the car up on jacks stand front and back and put the automatic in neutral to be able to turn the driveshat to get at the bolts. I bolted everything up and started to the car ( I had just put in a new Y pipe and I wanted to see if it was clearing after I adjusted it for the loop) and forgot to put it in park. It was still in neutral and the rear tires were spinning and the tcs light and ABS inop lights were on and the switch was dead. I thought this was odd so I turned the car off and put it ina park and re-started. THe TCS and ABS lights were still on and I proceeded to check all electrical connections on the wheels and so forth and did not find anything loose. I then checked the fuses and they were all fine. Does anyone know what happend or how to fix this? I am at a loss.

well i really dont know but here is some info ..
when you have different size tires that will happen.. like when i run et streets and skinnies in the front..
maybe your Torque arm angle is off after you put it back in?

might want to check all of your abs connections, I had one come loose over the rear axle on the drivers side and I had both lights on too, and check your wheel sensors to make sure the wires are not damaged.

The lights are from the rear wheels spinning, and the fronts not. Drive it for a few miles (no burnouts) and it will reset itself. My ABS and TCS lights came on when I ran the car on a emmisions dyno, drove it maybe 100 feet and went away.
