				In a moment of potential stupidity, I cut and removed the wiring to my right-front ABS wheel sensor.  Now, after driving for a period of time, I see the SES light illuminated in the dash.  Could the lack of speed feedback from this sensor cause this?  I have no diagnostic tools or I would check the code myself. Thanks. |

				Shouldn't.  The SES light is for the powertrain, the ABS INOP light is for the ABS.  I just had an ABS failure last week, and only got an INOP light, no SES light.   Just a coincidence I'd think. Of course you could scan the car and find out for sure. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
