Simple question about line locks?

Thanks for answers guys. My ABS light is on already, so I think Im gonna try installing one solenoid for now Revhead. My rear pads are shot, so my Brake light comes on and off when I leave lights (I think because the fluid is low). Could that be causing my ABS light to come on too? Ive heard the ABS is very sensitive to air and low fluid levels... I dont want to pay the money to get the light checked out until I at least get my new pads in the rear and mach 1 front kit installed.

the abs light could be caused by the low fluid,but normally the brake light comes on. abs gets set when it sees wheel speeds are way off from reference of the others or if it can not make the wheel slow down in proportion to the rest.
tire/rim sizes off from front and back or no brake pad can be your cause. thats what im betting on.

Thanks for the suggestion. I do have a little bit oversized tire in the rear vs the front. I installed the new rear pads and topped off the fluid and the light is still on, so I doubt its the fluid level like I originally thought. I bet its my way different tire sizes.

A wise man might fix all his problems before installing more modifications. I'm just throwing that out there.

Im not wise enough to dump another $600 on smaller profile rear tires when mine have 1/2 the original tread left? But youre right, I will probably not install line locks until the ABS light is fixed in a year or so when the tires are replaced.

We installed a 2 solenoid setup on our '07 because of the ABS. I don't know about previous generations, as I never installed line locks on my '03, but the ABS systems on the newer ones are very picky, and people have had some problems with a single solenoid setup. I think with a sn95, you'd be fine with a single solenoid setup. That said, it wouldn't hurt anything at all to go with a dual setup, and it's only 20 minutes more work to do it that way.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

I had a bad ABS sensor with only 5kmi on the car. The guy sold it to me and sent me the sensor and he new which one was bad. If cleaning won't do it then you probably need a new sensor. They can run a code and find out which one it is.

Thanks for the info. When it warms up above 20 again Im gonna get out into the garage and brush off the sensors. If that doesnt work, maybe I will take it in just so I know if its the tires or something else. I still want to put in a line lock though!
