[Shotimes] ABS

[Kirk Doucette]

It will blink as soon as you start the car.  I have on my 91 plus - a normal
control arm with the abs sensor installed, and on the passenger a new
Aluminum control arm with the Gen 3 AL knuckle with no ABS sensor installed
yet and as soon as I start the car it flashes. I haven't verified yet that
it is pointing at the pass side abs sensor, im just assuming that is what
its from because it's the only change I made to the car regarding the front
suspension/ ABS all winter.

Joe:
 What codes are you getting with these short ABS lights? Unless the brake
pedal travel switch is moved a certain distance I don't think the ABS
computer will do anything? So the ABS computer does notice the differing
wheel rates but has to have other conditions in addition to this before any
action is taken.
