Does my ABS require input from the speedometer?
I have switched from the 4plus3 to the BW t-56 6 speed. I dont have the speedo hooked up. The ABS says it has no signal. It does its self test at 4mph then works for a bit, then turns on the abs light and doesnt work.
When i hook the speedo up to the t56 an actual 5 mph reads 168 mph. Is there a way to fix this. Do I need it hooked up for my abs to work?
its an 86.

Jeff,
I made the trans switch. My main question is:
Is the abs seperate from the speedometer?
I don't need a working speedometer, but I do need a working abs unit. I dont want to spend a lot of money getting the spedo to work only to find out that it still didnt help out my abs.

Once you get the Vss sorted out the ABS unit should work again.

UPDATE: Based off wiring diagrams and other information we have figured out the the ABS system on the 86 does NOT reference the speedometer. So now I get to figure out what wrong with the ABS. :rolleyes:
