Haha yea like at the track, that would suck, right into a wall or something.

But it came back on this morning so i will get it checked out, someone was telling me about sensors at each tire or something.

Its not the check engine light its just abs, brake , and low trac lol

About the sensors by the tire.......

you will half to pull the tire off and the rotor the sensor is located on the spindle of the front wheel look fo the wires plug into the backside of each front spindle on the rear of a 95 may be different some are plug into the diffs center housing at the top of the housing if not look for wires leading down the axle tubes to the brake backing plate just follow the wires. i think the bolts are a 10mm if you can get your hands and socket to the bolt you may not need to take the wheels off. it may be a good idea to get a haynes repair manual they cost about $20.00 at advance but if you have any more questions or need anymore help send me an e-mail

If i remember ABS class correctly, the light is kinda like a check engine light, you can hook up a scanner and see why it went off or what tripped it.





*Note: I never went to mechanics school or any sort, above statement of class refers to what my brain told me seemed right at the time.

That class was a joke, it showed you how to do a compression check, and oil change, and how to rotate your tires. The back row in the class, me, nick s, ryan c, and aaron g. Proved the instructor wrong numerous times infront of the class making her look like a dumbass thus kicking us out because we were "insubordinate" Wasnt worth my month of summer vacation.

I would check the ABS sensors first. They are really easy to get to.

I would say **** ABS since it has absolutely nothing to do with the operation of the standard brake system on the car...99.9% of the time it isn't even doing anything, all it's there for is to prevent the brakes from locking up in the event of a panic stop...It modulates the pressure in the lines, and if you've ever felt it before you would understand...Now Joey's car is a 3 channel setup, which means his 2 front wheels operate independently with a sensor on each spindle...The rear has a sensor in the differential...Newer models have the 4 channel system with a sensor at all 4 corners...

It takes more than your standard 89$ scanner to pull ABS codes though...I say **** it, it's not ever going to affect anyting with the car, and nothing will be damaged...Just an older car, and odds are the sensors went bad...

You never think you will encounter. But I guarantee there will be a time when some ****** illegal mexican with no license or ****** insurance locks up her ****** brakes in front of you(yes I am still a little angry about that)...then you will wish your ABS worked. (mine shuts off from the skinnies and radials)

Either that or you get a hood that looks like mine.
