retreiving abs light code

i'm getting a ABS light only while driving when i activate a toggle switch that illuminates my underglow kit. the abs light doesnt come on if the key is in the on position. only when running. the underglow is wired directly to the battery.

i know i can ground the orange/yellow wire on the ABS test connector to pull the codes via the lamp in the dash but will it retreive this code if i only get it while its running?

any tips would be great guys.

thanks

Dan, so the addition of the underglow lights causes the ABS idiot light to illuminate? Have you double checked all tapped-into circuits to make sure something was not connected where it should not have been?

To answer your question, the ABS code will be stored (in the same manner that your bigger CEL codes will stay in the KAM even though the CEL has decided to turn off).

Good luck.

all right thanks alot.

i didnt have to tap into anything for the install just needed a direct 12v source from the battery and 2 grounds.

of course i needed to access the abs test connector after i stuffed all the wiring into my fenders LOL.

i got a switch in the engine bay now that i can flip to read the codes. its a good thing the connector is right under the washer fluid reservoir and easy to get to. just have to wire it up.


i think the reason the abs light turn on is because i have it really close to the right rear tire around some brake lines. i'll find out on saturday when i have the chance to go through it again
