Brake duct = ABS / sensor issue
 
Evening all

I had my local shop tell me the 2mm spacer from the stillen brake ducting kit is causing my ABS TCS lights to go on.

Do I really have to remove the hub to remove the frigging spacer that holds the hose?

Thanks all

If the spacer is made of metal (or is attached with metal) and in very close proximity to the sensor, it may be causing a problem. At this point, worth a try, IMNSHO.

read somewhere on this forum dem brake ducts make no measureable difference in cooling.. take da useless crap off da ride i suppose. and get correct offset wheels for da front.. (different story)

I have them on my Nismo but I didn't get any spacers?

Unless you put em on the TOP of the original brake dust guards i dont think so, in this case maybe the cap on the back of the bearing is slightly out of line, it will cause this problem.

Also the washers it came with.....remove em.

And if this dont work, swap the sensors from other wheel see if its giving same problem there, it could be the sensor.......................

That's all that came with mine. I just pulled the hub, removed the dust shield and install the plate. I have a Nismo so I didn't receive the fascia mounts and had to redneck mount the intake lines. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4706d1b2bb.jpg

At full left lock, the wheel was pinching the wheel sensor wire.

Had nothing to do with the bearing or alignment or brake fluid.

Chr*st that was a difficult find for a dashboard light.

*whew*

Well late to the party but was just going to say sounds like a pinched, open wire at lock. Another post somewhere in this forum with what I suspect as the same issue. Very common on two of the GM sedans.
