Ok i was wondering what causes those lights to come on?

I know its a common problem when those lights + the CEL engine comes on like the throttle sensor n what not... but i dont have the CEL on or anything.. just the VSC, ABS, and VSC Off...

whats a list of things i should go check so i can fix it?

The speed sensor looks fine.. no breaks in the line. anything else?



Car drives fine with no "limp" mode or anything. Feels like a regular car just with the lights on and no traction control (due to the lights assuming)

 

did u put a meter on it to make sure, as it visually could look fine

this happen on the new car u JUST bought?

 

Have you done any suspension work recently?

The speed sensor is usually not the problem, it's the ABS/VSC sensor. It's very delicate and cable is very prone to breaking. Jefftsai has a nice DIY on how to fix it.

Here's the link. The pictures don't seem to be working. Maybe you can contact Jeff?

ABS/VSC Sensor Fix DIY

 

oops, i thought that was what he was asking about....i really need to read lately

 

It's 2 in the morning. Nobody reads at 2 in the morning.

 

its 11:24PM here in socal

hmm does anyone have a pic of this ABS wire? Jeff's pics are dead :/

 

i personally have not done any suspension work but the previous owner did. I installed the Intrax Swaybars and made sure i put the fronts on correctly. but thats it...

 

see im going by info like this....where he is saying the speed sensor is the same so i was thinking he was talking bout the same thing

Did you find an answer to this? I have the same scenario.

 

i have the same problem on my gs and ive had it at a few different shops and even at the dealer and they havent figured it out, right now its at a shop where they checked everything over and every sensor is fine besides a speed sensor on the rear pass side, they ordered a new one, and if it doesnt cure the problem i wont have to pay nothing, i hope it does though im sick of it

 

same problem here!! check engine light goes off and on also!!

right now i have same problem as above and check engine is off!

 

Hurricane: since you got the CEL run a scanner.. for us guys with the other lights excluding CEL we cannot run a scanner :/

i havent had time to dismount my wheels and check the rear sensor yet since i have finals but imma see if anything is wrong..

ill try to do run a multimeter to it to see if the line is good.. but gotta take care of finals first. until then goodluck to all of us! LOL

 

did u install the sway bar correctly? I matched mine to the oem, but the oem was installed incorrectly... so I got vsc+abs on. I had to flip the sway left to right or push the retainer to the side a little bit.

 

Why exactly wouldn't you be able to run a scanner? ABS is just another computer controlled system.

In fact, you can find information on pulling the codes from ABS ECU with or without the scanner here.

 

I have the same problem. I was told it was my brake master cylinder/booster as its a common problem in 2nd Gens. Keep us posted.
