ABS INOP Light??

ABS INOP Light??
My car is done with the LT1 swap and everything else along with it. The Z rear is in, with my 3:73 gears installed. The ABS INOP light is still on though after everything was hooked up by my mechanic. He said it may have something to do with the black box in the car or something not being compatible. All the parts came from a 97z hardtop and my car is a 97rs vert. I figured it would be the same. Why do you think the light is still on? Did they leave something unhooked up or something? Everything else is fine, other than keep burning a wire because of the headers as posted in another post. Thanks again.

I have a similar problem after my motor rebuild, but it is intermittent. I think a ground is not right, but one of my projects is to hunt this problem down. The shop manual has a pretty detailed diagnosis section on this one.

I know this is going to sound funny, but check the brake light that is built into the spoiler. Burned out bulbs (there are 2 of them in there) will cause the ABS inop light to go on.

Well, my car had the SGS option, and the donor car didn't have any traction controls. Could that be the problem? I think he used the original module or something too. Thanks for the replies.

Read your suggestion, went out and grabbed the ground wire and it was definitely loose. A quick tighten of the bolt and my ABS system is happy again. Can't thank you enough - saved me from chasing all kinds of sensor/module issues!

Thanks BlownF1! That was my problem indeed. I just installed an SLP fan bypass switch which uses that ground terminal. That ground post is a "double nut" and I accidentally loosened the lower portion of it while landing a ground wire for the fan bypass wire harness.

Unfortunately, BlownF1 has not signed into the site in 2-1/2 years. But good to see his advice was helpful.
