Default ABS INOP light on and TCS not working. help!!!

this is "mulletwearingtadrive", for some reason i cant log out of my friends account and go to mine. anyways i have a 98 TA and a while back i lowered the car on H&R sport springs. since the install my TCS is always off and pressing the button does nothing and my ABS INOP light has been on.
can someone point me in the right direction as far as where to look to fix these problems or what areas to check out?


thanks for any help or info

Check and make sure all of the connectors for the ABS are pluged into the ABS sensors at the hubs.

Yeah, probably have a wire caught in the suspension. Maybe popped a spring clip during the install and the wire found it's way into something.

The ABS light and TCS inop are most likely inter-related.

If it started when you put in your new springs, it's probably wiring related.

Check the connectors at each wheel, and the big plug on the driver side of the underbody.

Good luck,

almost has to be a wiring issue and if there is an abs issue it automaticlly disables the tcs system

The lines going into the 12bolt in my car are messed up and the ABS inop and TCS light comes on intermittantly. Sounds like a simliar problem.
