Check and see if one or more of the third brake light bulbs are out. This will cause ABS inop light.

Put a piece of black duct tape over the light, it worked for me, the inspectors don't read the brake computer and the OBDII wont throw a code for the ABS, it will only fail if they see the light. (Obviously the brakes have to be working properly though)

Thats what i was thinking. I like it on because i don't have to push the button everytime i get in. I thought about just putting a picture over it. The last time i went to the place where i plan on getting it inspected again, the kid was so happy to drive it he didn't look at anything just my ins and he made sure my brakes and horn work lol. I didn't have cats or anything. plus 2 bottles with no back seat.
