Check the ABS sensor(s) and make sure they're properly connected.

Hoebag,

I just sent you a PM replying to your message. I just got mine installed last week and my ABS light also came on with the TRACK OFF light flashing!!. The A-HOLE that installed it broke one of the sensors on the left rear wheel. I took it to lexus and part/labor will cost $480.00. I got the A-HOLE to pay for the damage. I hope that yours is only a connection because they do connect like a plug or only reuires the dealer to reset it. Even if you "bump" the sensor, it will trip the light only requiring a reset or if its hit hard enough it can go out like a light bulb is what the service guy at lexus explained. Have it checked at the dealer. Let us know

Hey Hoe

There is no such thing as "no reason" however there is a such thing as no "forseeable" reason. Sounds like a faulty or damaged sensor. timing is everything

rivera156: how much did the shop charge you?
the race shop i went to originally charged me $70, but they had to remove a lot of dynamat ("carefully" applied by one of my friends) from the strut bolts inside the trunk, so they ended up charging me $100+tax = $108

Hoe.
The speed shop I went to charged me $154. They also did an alignment for additional $59.00. I paid good money for them to screw things up. Thats OK, because it cost the shop $480.00 for LEXUS to repair what they did.
