still need to find time to put some vids from my camera on my dad's laptop to clear up some space on the memory card.

but anyway my Anti-Lock light decided to randomly come on last night on the freeway... on my way to go down some twisties.. and i mean lots of twisties. Decker Canyon Road to be exact. I still went down anyway and didn't have any problems. Turned the car off when, went to the beach, and came back this morning and the light didn't come back on. BUT, on the way back up some other twisties, the light came on again, then turned off when I started the car again after breakfast, then came on again on the freeway.

So I searched and there seems to be multiple things that could be the problem. Wheel bearings being bad, excessive differences in RPMs of the wheels, and not sure what else. I am 99.9999% the car has not gotten the wheel bearings replaced and it has about 155,000 miles LOL

Could be as simple as a wheel speed sensor too, or ive heard it call the ABS sensor. Whatever it is.

I tackle twisties without ABS on the regular. I personally like cars without ABS better, It just makes the car more of a car than a computer IMO.

ABS is not a necessary thing none of my three cars have had it (well the Avenger had it....it didn't work tho), plus locking up all four in a panic stop is something everyone should do it's the craziest experience of my time behind the wheel so far!

+1 on that. I don't like ABS much at all, have had some bad experiences in cars with it.

hate to sound like a follower but I dont have it on the g or on any of the other cars that i had. I have driven in cars with both and i prefer without abs. as jigz said it just feels like a car without it.

[beam514]

well I just want the damn light to go away and stay away. Pretty sure I won't be locking up my brakes ever. But this light will make me not pass SMOG, no? I need to get the car scanned, but the light only turns on every once in awhile

[blue8g]

disconnect the light...........

[jimmy_o2]

disconnect the light...........

that will not help him pass smog

[4g63lover]

damn, california will fail you if the ABS light is on?? WTF?

[Way Fast Galant]

that will not help him pass smog

thats true, and ABS only lets you pick a target and hope for the best. on the side, its sweet to see how far you have come with your G. i wish i could say my G is going along so well, lol

[beam514]

I am pretty sure any code that would show up on an OBDII scanner will make you fail SMOG.

[jimmy_o2]

correct

[IVORY_G]

My smog place that I go to didnt make me put on my stock intake, I had the same setup you had, stock piping w/ MAF adapter & cone filter. He said it was cool. Its an exhaust/SMOG shop that me & Jimmy are familiar with in Inglewood...

[beam514]

Do you have a name and address of the place? Its about an hour south of me, but I'm actually heading down that direction soon. I just need to figure out this damn ABS stuff though, cause the light keeps coming on after about 10-15 miles of continual driving
