Recently I put on a UMI k-member and now my ABS INOP light is staying lit. Also my ASR is off as soon as I start the car (usually I have to turn it off myself).

So what did I miss? Can someone point me in the right direction on what / where to look?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

 

Double check your speed sensors at the front wheels. Maybe they're not plugged in?

 

Bingo. That's my guess.

 

Okay I just checked those and everything is plugged in as far as I can tell. Could the sensors have gone bad or got messed up in the install?

Thanks for the help,
Brian

 

Connectors to the ASR/cruise box?

 

See if you can get the code to figure out which side (or both) is causing the issue. Most common issues, in no real order:
unplugged connector
bad wheel speed sensor, I think only comes as an assembly
loose connection at connector
crimped/rubbed through harness on wheel or steering
broken wire INSIDE harness, a bitch to track down
bad ABS module, usually gives codes on both sides - but not always

 

Could I just use one of those code readers from Autozone? Or would I need to scan it with something else? The reason I ask, is I was under the impression the ones at Autozone only scan emissions codes from SES lights and such.

 

as far as i know, you need a tech 2 or something similar.
