Abs and slip light

Dragon_Ball_Z · 04-13-2016, 02:45 PM

Hey everyone I need some help. My ABS light and slip light recently came on on the dash. I hooked up my code reader and tried to see if there were any codes and there were none. I reset the codes anyway just in case there was one in the background. The lights will be off when I start my car but after the first minute of driving both of the lights turned back on. I checked my brake fluid and it's not low at all. I was hoping the light would turn off by itself but I put 100 miles on the car since and it has not turned off. Any ideas? 6 speed manual

Recent change of tyres and rolling diameter different ??

Possible wheel speed sensor damage (but would have thought this would throw a code)

Possible one tyre is pretty much flat leading to different rolling diameter difference ?

Other than that, I am out of ideas!!

I did put new wheels on but they have been on for 200 miles and the tpms light has been on and now this happened. I still need to get the tpms programmed. The speedometer works though

I know last year when I replaced the front and rear suspension on mine I initially had the thrust angle off causing the slip light to come on and the VDC not to work. Can't remember offhand if the ABS light was on also.

Is your steering wheel straight when the car is going straight?

Make sure your brake fluid is above the full line, not even with it.

Ok, I just making sure.

Some people will look at it, and call it full, when it's about 1/8" below the full line.

Have you had an alignment recently? If you align the car and don't reset the steering angle sensor it can cause the light.

I haven't Joe, the steering wheel isn't perfectly straight but it is off by maybe 10 degrees. Would it hurt? Should i take it somewhere to read the codes because my obd2 reader doesn't show any codes.

Do you have an aftermarket LSD?

Dragon_Ball_Z · 04-15-2016, 08:05 PM

I fixed it guys, my stop lamp fuse blew bc my evo r fog light filled with water and it shorted out. I replaced the fuse and disconnected the light and I'm good!

I want to bring this back from the dead to say that it helped me a lot to figure what was going on with my car. Thanks to Dragon_Ball_Z for coming back and explain what was the cause of the problem. I went to visit my brother who lives 300 miles away and after the visit, the wife and I kept on going for a road trip when the same thing happened to me except it was my trailer wiring adapter that had shorted out and blew my tail light and stop light fuse. I could smell burnt electrics around the back of the car earlier but could not figure out what it was and then my ABS and slip light turned on. I texted my brother the problems and his googling skills found this tread that pointed me in the right direction.
