While driving my car last night the E-brake light came on when i was cruising down the road. (and no the ebrake was not on) If i turn the car off..then release the e-brake the light goes off until i start driving again. Also, after driving for about ten minutes my 'ABS inop' light comes on. Could this be because of the 15x3" weld prostars in the front? My friend told me that with that skinny of tire/wheel, I might have some ABS problems. What could this be? I would like to get it fixed ASAP. Thanks.

Oh ya, I bought this car off of SLPls1.

 

Check your brake fluid level and make sure it's full. That will make the light come on also.

 

i checked the fluid and its full..kind of dirty though, would that cause the light to turn on?

 

Never heard of dirty fluid making the light come on, but I would flush it for good measure anyways. Check under the center console and make sure the park brake arm is comming in contact with the electric switch when you let it down.

 

As far as the ABS inop light, I would say that your wheel speed sensor is bad.

 

I am also having this problem. I dunno what is setting it off. I also have full brake fluid.

 

what size wheels do you have in back and up front? I really do think that this has a factor in why we are having this problem.

 

that is what led to mine i am near positive. I am running some huge tires in the back, but i dont see why the brake lights is affected through that

 

are you saying that your brake lights are on? or your e-brake light is on? I have huge a$$ tires in the back too and i think that the wheel speed sensor is reading a different speed because of such a big tire. I was thinking either that or the skinny tires up front are causing vibration and therefore affecting the ABS. Once i get a set of stock wheel and tires on i will see if it goes away...hopefully!

 

Yea, the e-brake light is on. I just gotta get the computer retuned for the new tires, and it shouldn't be a problem anymore.

 

so you are saying that the cause of the ebrake light and abs inop light is because of the size of wheels?

 

absolutely correct.
