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)

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.

Yeah, that's what I said. Mine would come on when the rear hopped off the ground sometimes. I bet the reason your ABS keeps coming on is b/c you have such mismatched brake pads front to rear. Crappy rears with grippy HP+'s are going to drive the ABS crazy under hard driving.
