Did headers and now "ABS INOP"?

**silverWS6** · 01-10-2010, 02:20 PM

I'm not sure what happened but I did my headers this weekend and all went good with that, she sounds mean as hell! Anyways I got rid of the egr and air deal and when I was all done, I went for a cruise with open headers

and I noticed my ABS INOP light was on so I got back home and connected the y and the full exhaust and the ABS INOP light was still on and is still on... anybody know what I did to trigger the ABS INOP light?

Bumpy bump! Also forgot to say I also got rid of all the a/c stuff as well

did you leave a front wheel speed sensor unplugged?

Sounds like a wire got pulled or disconnected somewhere. Recheck the connections.

I don't think I pulled those sensors

did you lower the engine cradle at all and maybe stretched/broke a wheel speed sensor wire harness or ABS module harness?

did you run the car in gear on the stands and how far did you drive it? The reason I ask is it'll toss that light if you run it in gear on stands but the light should reset fairly quickly. If you didn't then I would go with these guys or I would maybe look around the abs block and make sure you didn't break a plug over there or something like that.

my car is doing something similar. My abs inop light come on only when it rains. My mech. dropped the k-member to install my heads and cam.

I only turned the car on when it was on stands with all four wheels off the ground but I didn't put it in gear and I drove it about maybe 1 mile, I just went to the corner store to show off my super loud car to my friend and his 98 cobra and to Z28_Princess too lol and yea ill check the sensors

Maybe its just a coincidence that it went off just now

I might've knocked something around the abs deal when I was fidgetting with the header or on the other side with the a/c stuff hmmmmm
