ABS/TeactionControl/VDC/Ebrake lights came on
 

Hey guys, so I was driving home after work and stopped by the bank to deposit some money and when I started my car back up these lights came on. I normally drive with the VDC turned off so I dont know if this was the cause. I just installed a Zspeed stage 2 clutch which has been wonderful with grip so I'm wondering if that could possibly do it. My fluid levels are topped off. After the CMAK install the clutch pedal does engage only in the lower 50% of the travel so I'm wondering if I need to adjust that as well. Also I'm running 18x8 all the way around on my wheels. Is it possible though with the new clutch that it's just providing more power than the stock parts can handle with the smaller wheels?

Check for error code if you have obd reader, I had a similar issue and the cause was a failed front abs sensor.

I dont have one but if it throws up tomorrow I'm making a pit stop at a parts store.

With all the lights on, were you able to turn the car off with just a quick push of the button or did you have to hold the button to get the car to shutoff?

Add brake fluid. Make sure its filled to the top.

If you mean Check engine, I didn't have one when the error showed. I only had no abs when braking, and all the lights on the dash.

:iagree:

First thing I'd do is check the brake fluid level. If it is the least bit low*, it will flash some dash lights on acceleration.

If that wasn't the problem, I'd see if any DTCs were thrown. You can have pending DTCs that don't leave a dash light on.


Edit: * As mentioned by others, the level needs to be to be well above the Min mark. Fill it to the Max line.

:iagree:

Brake fluid above the MIN line isn't enough. Fill it to the MAX line and see if that solves your problem. If not, head over to local auto parts store for a free code check.

OP, stop and get the codes checked. It's a free check and takes 5 minutes. A failed ABS sensor means a replacement of the hub/bearing assembly to resolve. If you need to replace a hub assembly, as odd as this sounds, go to eBay and search for 'Detroit Axle'. They sell OE hub assemblies inexpensively because they are the OEM for almost everybody. Order a pair and it usually is less than 1/2 the cost of a single assembly from the parts store, plus they usually ship for free. I had 2 that I ordered for an older Buick on a Monday and they arrived on a Thursday. Great folks to deal with. :tup:
