bad title...I know.

anyways, my 4w ABS light came on when I installed my tokiko 5-way adjustables...does the fd have a pad wear sensor and the shock install was just a coinsidence? or what sets off the abs light?

Thanks,

Sean

Might have knocked one of the wheel sensors or one of its components around a little. Possibility at least.

thanks for the replies.

resetting the ECU didnt help.

I probly did knock something around...cause it stays on most of the time, but sometimes it will go off and then back on. the front shocks are a PIA!!

other suggestions are still welcome since I cant check the car right now. its frickin freezing and I have no heat in the garage.

I agree with ya, probably just knocked the sensor. Hopefully its not broke.

when you did the front struts did you disconnect the wire from the control arm, and the hub? or did you let the weight of the parts be supported by the abs wire? If you did, you prob. streched the wire and it broke on the inside.

I've seen this happen alot, thats why I am asking
