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.


I just took a quick look though all the PCM codes in my tuner software and Sam is right, there is no SES light code for the ABS, so it must have been my ABS INOP light.

There are SES codes for theft deterent system not working properly and the traction control not working right just for reference. I found a code #1659 that just says "Refer to Service manual", that's a helpful code right there. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) There is also a code that is supposed to light up your MIL light when the MIL lamp doesn't work.
