One, check ya brake fluid maybe

or remove that battery cable for at least 10 minutes to clear everything.

man ya got me on this one:dontknow:


Make sure when ya installed the front an rear you didnt pinch any lines by mistake

Try driving it around the block. The lights should go off. The same thing happens with the SCT when I change my tune.

Searched the site and saw this thread. Same thing happened to me Saturday. Kit is great, looks killer! The ABS and BRAKE light are on. I did all the steps to clean it myself, but nothing.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Real easy! Just drive it 5 foot and it'll shut off unless you unplugged something.

My buddy said he unplugged the sensors in the front to let the calipers dangle. Maybe they arent plugged in correctly, or damaged?

check the plugs to see if they weren't damaged...

if not, drive around for 5-10 minutes... it should go out...

did you touch the battery cables together (disconnected from the battery, of course) hold them together for about 20 seconds and that does a hard reset...

 

[lightningKILLER]

I did disconnect the battery for an hour. Drove it around for 10-15 miles.

I didnt touch the cables together...never heard of that doing a reset.

It's a common thing.

Dan even touches the two cables together while they are still connected to the battery. Says it makes him feel all warm and fuzzy.

Yeah if you drove that far then it's definitely something not connected or damaged for sure.

 

[lightningKILLER]

I'll have to get under it tonight and look at all the sensors to see if something got damaged. Thanks guys.

Thats weird bro, when I lowered mine I never had any lights come on.

Most I got was LAMP OUT light in the rear it would blow brake lights every 3 months or so

Checked all the sensors and lines. Nothing looks broken, disconnected, or stretched. So i'm going to have to have the code scanned and cleared. See what happens from there.
