Default Darn ABS light.

Trying to get some of the little things taken care of on the car. After the tranny/cam swap I ended up with an abs light on. Not know why. maybe ya'll can help. The tcs light also stays on. The only other thing i changed was the cv shaft on the pass side. All sensors are pluged in as far as i know.



What are the only possible reasons that the abs light and the tcs light will turn on for? then i guess i will trouble shoot from there.

sounds like a bad wheel hub. both of mine went bad at the same time with 40k. get a snap on scanner and see what codes pop up.

sensor unhooked, or bad is what normally causes that, check and see if the wires weren't damaged on one, I had one of mine rub on the axle and wear a hole in the wires

I'd also be suspicious of a bad wheel hub.

you can get the cheap ones off the internet for about $100...but anything not OEM you risk having a defective bearing (happens more often then most would like)

As for your ABS light, did you disconnect any wiring around the steering? mine was on after some tranny work and it was a harness for the magnasteer (variable effort steering)...its all part of the TCS. You may notice your steering is a bit tighter and maybe the pump whines a bit a low speeds.

take the 2 bolts off the caliper bracket, remove the caliper and rotor, then its 3 bolts behind the bearing. like i said get a snap on scanner and see what codes its throwing, otherwise you are spending money for nothing

ZZP has them for $90 shipped. I got one for my other side of my car after I already replaced my driver side one. I figured I would replace both and be done with it for a while. The ones ZZP sells seem to be darn decent and the pricing and shipping is pretty hard to beat. Plus they come with a life time warranty.

Also eBay is a good source for them as well.
