ABS/INOP light on

[98maro]

I bought the car last week. And it was like that
yesterday I removed the MAF I clean it bt I put the parts bk
you guys think it's on cuz the sway bar is broken?

[0rion]

not due to just the sway bar being broken but how does someone break a sway bar? Is the bar itself broken or the end links? Might've taken a nasty hit under there or something.

[0rion]

Do you have traction control? I *think* most, if not all, 98's were 3 channel abs. The sensor is right in the top of the pumpkin. If the bar is broken you may want to check that plug and sensor up there and make sure it's not broken off of something like that. If it has traction control it's a 4 channel abs set up though and the sensors will be at the wheels.

The abs is on my 00 camaro ss
the sway bar was broken. It makes bibrations when u breake
the previous owner didn't notice that

I was told that abs sensor on the front tires is messd up
Idk which channel is it. If 4 or 3
it has traction control
bt the switch dnt work I changed bt still dnt work

[98maro]

Yeah I'm sure it was a big hit under there. Bt nothin else was damaged

I had my lights on, cause of the abs/tc module. A new module alone is almost 1k, but there is a website that rebuilds it for $180. 6 screws and 2 electronic connectors, so it's a easy job.
www.modulemaster.com

So far it's working fine

[98maro]

damn its expensive...
180 its a great deal
so u think i need the abs module?
im gonna go check that website

[CamaroKev]

have a shop scan the computer first, just to make sure if your module is the problem. I got back my module within a week from sending it. I also needed a star bit for the screws.
good luck

[98maro]

I'll do that
thanks for the help
hopefully it's to expensive

[98maro]

I called the dealership and I asked fir the front abs sensors
they are $480 each
dats crazy

I know the last post is old but if you wanna save some cash just go to AZ or Discount and get the wheel bearing/hub assembly w/ Speed Sensor for a 1/4 that price!!!

aged I know but I having a similar issue on my 98 TA but my ABS is actively braking while im just normll braking at first, then after a few times of this, it kicks on the ABS inop light on and then the braking goes back to normal, but the lights on and im sure the ABS would not come one if I had to panic stop. looks like I might have to replace the hubs.... again.... gonna get it scanned to see which ones are acting up.

This is part of the reason why I'm deleting my ABS once I get the rear finished off.

lol yeah, eventually, I plan on a 12bolt one day lol but for now, the stock rear end is handling well, "knock on wood'
plus its helping my turbo spool right now
