ABS Inop Problem
ABS Inop Problem I have an annoying weird problem... 
Every time I accelerate hard my abs inop light comes on, but once I restart the car it is gone. Just wondering if anyone has any direction in which to point me, thanks.

I have that same problem but mine doesnt stay on. It comes on at certain point when i accelerate but as soon as i let out of it the light turns off. I stayed on one time and it just finally went out never did figure it out.

I've seen this happen with big squishy tires, because they grow at different rates and become slightly different sized. I suppose it could hapen if your tires were inflated to different pressures? not real sure but something to check.
It turns off because restarting the car just resets the ABS.

Because one tire is spinning at a different rate than the other, and it makes the ABS want to trigger. Thats the way I understood it anyway. Happens ALL the time on my friends '98. every time we put the MT Drags on it, even retuned for tire size etc. When we put a set of big ET streets on mine it did the same thing.
o ok i guess i can see that. I wasnt even thinking of the rear tires. I was only thinking the fronts. And just a question (sorry off topic) but did the 93 T/A A4 come with Trac Control or the performance 2nd gear start (not sure what it is called)? People have been telling me that they all did and mine doesnt have that switch on the center consol but my gauge cluster does a a place where is says trac off.

my 95 does the same thing, no idea what is causing it. Some say it because of the gears in the rear end, not sure how that would affect it, and some say it's because I need to blead my brake lines...another words they were telling me my brake fluid was bad! Never really heard of that one either! But any whoot I just live with it!
