Default ABS INOP light?? what da?

okie dokie... any idea what causes this? I havent even touched the brakes lines or line lock kit yet <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

But I started the car up(its on jack stands off the ground in garage) and put her in gear to add the tranny fuild. Then the ABS INOP light came on with the Brake light?? I noticed one my the 15's were slightly rubbing on the passanger side so i have to grind a little more. But would that set a ABS light if that wheel was hitting and slowing it down a little?

only other thing In have touched recently on the car is the trans pan and TB LOL

again both wheels were off the ground and spinning in the air if that makes a difference, just one side was rubbing the calipers slightly

hmmmm.....harmonics of the scraping rotor interfered with muffler bearing sensor? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
any idea what the code is? could it be because the front wheels aren't moving while in gear but the rears are? hyperextend/cut a sensor wire? just a thought....

I get those lights when I put the Hoosiers and skinnies on. The ABS simply sees that the front is spinning faster than the back, and it assumes either the e-brake is on, or your ABS is non functional, even though that is not the case. It also happens to me when I dyno, but not every time.

thanks..... are there any issues with the car with the abs light on??

i figured it was just from having the car in the air with the rear wheels spinning and the fronts not. Either that or it coulda been where the caliper was slowing the right rear down where it was rubbing slightly

ive heard they are very sensitive

If it was rubbing on the caliper, you would have heard MAJOR grinding. Just ignore the lights, no issues. Just make sure they go off when you drive the car again.

Felt like the rear wanted to rip out. I thought I had ground enough cause when i tq'ed them and spun them they didnt hit. But when I ran her through the gears in the air it started rubbing again dang it <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
