Well since I am driving #86 allot more I want to fix all the little things. I have the abs light on and not sure where to start on fixing this. The fuse on the battery terminal is good. The motor doesn't make any weird noise when the car is shut down. The 3 plugs all look good and there is no corrosion on the plugs. I don't have my logger with me so I don't know if that is something the logger would even show? I wont have my logger until next week. I tried doing a search but this place sucks to do any type of searching. Thanks in advanced

The MUT-3 scanner (dealer) can read the abs codes. Iirc there is a way to get flash codes as well. It's not easy to figure out even if you do have the codes half the time.

Most of us just delete abs. I kept mine until it malfunctioned. It's gone now.

I like to keep everything running on the car how it came from the factory so no delete for me. I will check with the dealer then. I was just curious with the logger to but dealer will be easier thanks man,,

The only problem I had with the ABS system was dirty sensors and having sensor gaps that were too big. Cleaning and adjusting sensors took care of my problem.

Actually it came on after I pulled the motor out last year. I just been driving the vette so much the light never bothered me this whole time. Now that I'm driving #86 as a DD I want to get everything fixed. I assume I will see the sensors when I take the wheels off? I assume it will be one of the front ones because I pulled those off when pulling the motor/axles out and when I got the motor back running that's when the light was on.. Any pics available to what I am looking for and how much space?

Damn that's some dinosaur way of doing it but will it read via a logger or no? I dont have a analog meter and can get my logger by next week if I cant do it via logger then I'll just go old school I'm sure the dealer would charge for this. Thanks guys

Probably pulled and/or damaged the sensor wire while the hubs were hanging. Here is the ABS delete thread, has great pics of what you will look for: click

I'd check the fronts first, even without the code(s) it doesn't take too much time. There should also be generic testing methods online in case the sensor itself is bad.
