				Everytime under hard braking this light come's on,what is the car doing when this light come's on?Is the car using the ABS to regain control or something?I don't have any of the T/C stuff under the hood or on the rear axle. So how do i disable this system? setup Stock 95 formula firebird suspension(LOTS! of nose dive) LS1 f brake's w/HP+ pads and cooling ducts 275/40/17 street tire's fusion zr1 |

				There is absolutely no reason to disable it, it's just an informational light.  It's telling you either: 1) ABS is active 2) your rear wheels are moving at a different speed than your fronts. Contrary to what the manual says, even a non-ASR car will still get the light under certain circumstances when the rear wheels are moving at a different speed than the fronts, even if the brakes aren't engaged. I haven't quite figured it out, but both my 95 and my 97 (neither had/have ASR) will give me the light occassionally with rear wheel spin with no brake application. If as you describe, it's happening under braking, then it's your ABS kicking in. Do NOT pull the fuse, as that would disable your ABS. Just at a guess, I would be that you're exceeding the traction limits of the tires and getting into ABS. I've got LS1 front brakes, and I know with Nitto 555 RIIs I could not get into ABS with stock pads, but with BFG KDWs I can occassionally (w/ Carbotech Panther XPs I could easily even on RIIs). If I can get into ABS on KDWs on stock pads, then I'm pretty sure you can with HP+ and Fuzions. |
