i have heard that the sensor on the back of the front brake rotors can go bad. i say chek the wiries and make sure they didnt get cut or damaged. there is one on the differential but i think that one will only make the abs inop go on. hope it helps

I've also seen it be the result of loose grounds - particularly the one on the back of the left cylinder head.

Is there a way to tune these out (ABS) other than the tape mod or clipping wires?

Could a gear and not having the speedo adjusting, or running a slick maybe cause it? my traction control light doesn't come on, but abs inop, and brake light come on while crusing at highway speeds for a while. It never did this before, but i just did a 4.10 gear, and mt et streets.

If the car is going slower like 45 and under, it never comes on. Thanks, Chris
