ABS INOP light stays on.... My light has never came on until recently (today). I just finished installing plugs and wires, car runs perfect but now the ABS light comes on. I know I was under and on top of the engine all day. Not sure if there's a sensor somewhere in the engine bay?? Or maybe somewhere by the two front tires?
Seems weird it comes on after change plugs..

could also be time for new pads/rotors. my abs would act up with the low trac coming on for no reason while stopping and the pedal getting hard and then jumping to the ground and back up and then the ABS INOP would come on after this happened 3 times. i replaced the rotors and pads and it hasn't happened again. they were changed out over 4 years ago.

After I put on LS1 brakes that were used (still needs some fresh pads and rotors just because, but they are in good condition) I get ABS INOP all the time. Sometimes when I pull the e-brake I get Low Trac.

You can't replace the sensors. They come as a whole unit with the hub. They aren't that expensive. Might be a bad speed sensor. Car can't tell how fast it is spinning so ABS get disabled.
