Slip Light on after header install. Help?

chrischhorn · 01-05-2013, 02:19 AM

So, I just finished installing my Momentum headers today and now my slip light is on. It doesn't flash, it just stays on solid. The "VDC Off" light isn't on. Just the slip light. I've searched and everyone that had low brake fluids issue had both lights on and the ABS in some cases. I've read it could be the steering column connection but I marked it before I removed it and installed it exactly back how it was removed. Steering wheel sits straight with the tires. Just wanna see if anyone can give me some input before I take it to the dealer. My car only has 11k on it but I'm sure with the Headers/test pipes/ exhaust and etc. The dealership will be hesitant to help me or cover it under warranty work. Thanks in advance.

Just a guess, but you may need to reset the steering position sensor. See the FSM for procedure.

Thank SouthArk370z. It was the steering position sensor. I guess when I reinstalled, i hadn't realized that the steering wheel spun a full 360 so the sensor was reading 360 degrees off. Flipped the steering wheel once and problem solved. At least the shop I went to read it for free of charge. He was surprised he could even read it lol.
