Default This was weird, any advice?

Cruising down the interstate, out of nowhere my ASR off, E-brake, and ABS INOP lights all came on. I turned the key off and then back on but they stayed. Anyone have any advice.

Also, i installed a prothane trans mount, now when i get above 2K the car vibrates. is this normal?

sometimes the alternator plays games like that. Just an opinion.

I'd check my brakes right away. A brake malfunction could cause these lights. No vibration isn't normal. It means something is trying to tear itself apart.

check brake fluid to, vibration isnt normal at idle if u install full mounts the p-mounts will not absord vibrations as much as the stock rubber mounts due to the fact that they are stiffer but it shouldnt shake at a certain rpm

from what i've read, the vibration should quit once the mount gets broke in. Its not near as bad now as it was the first day. What about the speed sensors. Would dirty sensors make those lights come on?

possibly dirty, but i'll tell you, i had this happen to me one. i accidently hit a huge dip in my car going about 50mph, i didnt see it, those lights came on, so i turned the car off and restarted it and they went away. i'd think your abs system is malfunctioning. goodluck.

i havent had a chance to clean the sensors, but the lights have only come on a few times. Ill clean them this week and see what happens. Also, the car doesnt vibrate at idle, only above about 2k rpm. The vibration is about gone now though. Fluid level looks good btw

A big stall converter, different sized front and rear tires, speed sensor or the other sensor on top of the rear-end can all cause it

A couple weeks ago, i had those lights come on, and then sometimes go away. Then they went away for good, havent seen them in awhile. I suspect my dying rear end is to blame. Maybe something to do with the abs reluctor rings, I dunno. Im not too worried about it lol
