Help! Slip light and ABS engages on turns
 
Hello, I installed GKTECH’s super angle kit and have had two alignments. As the title states, the slip light and ABS kicks in when making turns. When disabling VDC, this happens but only when applying pressure to the brakes. I’ve had someone use a snap on scan tool to reset the steering angle sensor, and it hasn’t changed. Anything I can do to fix this before I head to the stealership? I’m guessing it needs more than just resetting the sensor, it needs to either recalibrate or program the new angle parameters, but I could be way off.

Thanks

One of the things that set off the lights is low brake fluid. Check to make sure your brake fluid level is at the max line.

Double-check tire sizes (diameter/circumference). Front and rear sets need to match. Difference between front and rear has to be within a certain range (can't remember what it is but someone will probably post what it is).

Edit: And as per Rusty, check brake reservoir level - it needs to be full.

Within 3% front to rear diameter.

I run 255/40 R19 up front and 285/35 R19 in the back. This started happening right after the angle kit install so I haven’t checked brake fluid nor have I blamed the tires. I will take a look at my fluid level in the morning. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you all

Your tires are good at 0.5% difference.
