Default Said indicator light

2001 rx-300. After rebuilding and servicing of front suspension, I now get an intermittent flashing of the Skid detector light with the corresponding warning sound. Totally random conditions on dry road surfaces. Any ideas for repair?

Skid indicator kicks on when the left side wheels are not turning at the same rate and the right side wheels. The computer does allow a range of mismatch [as you make turns] but not beyond.

Check the wheel tone-ring, sensors and the wiring. During suspension work, ideally the sensors need to be removed and stored away. The wires have a high chance of getting pinched and the simplest of all is a bad connection at the connector.

Due to my remote location, are there any circuit breakers that I can pull to stop the intermittent dinging of the anti skid system without affecting the normal breaking of the car? Thx

I don't have a circuit diagram to help you.

Are tire treads good [no actual slip is happening?
