Hello everyone!

This is my first post on CL sadly it isn't a good one. I am having an ABS Code flash on my LS400 when it happens it's either after I start the car or after turning on my L/R Flasher. It cuts all Electronics for a Split second. From doing my Research it seems to go back to the Battery being old, but I wanted to here it directly from someone to be sure.

Let me know what you guys think this is, would be greatly appreciated. I remembered that I have the Dealer's manual still in the car, so I will check out what it says about it.

Thanks you,

Pisarski.

it does sound like either battery, alternator or a bad connection, or a short. - start with replacing any battery that is 4 or more years old.

a really common problem is alternators going out and taking batteries out with them, and the reason behind it is power steering fluid leak dripping into the alternator - even mine was taken out this way!

most likely reason ---> this also sounds as if it could also be an electrical short somewhere, and a common place for this to happen in an older LS400 (94 and earlier) is in the wiring inside the driver's side trunk hinge!

Which ABS code is being flagged?

Ok Cowboy Thanks, I did a little more research and came to that, will look into it!

The ABS code concerning electrical systems.

Everytime I use anything Power wise, sunroof, flashers etc. it'll flash and short.
