ABS & traction control issue
So recently in the past month iv been having some issues with the traction control and abs on by car. All i have is the twin air, corsa cat back and diablo predator.
At first the abs would just kick on for no reason in traffic. I did some research and read maybe get on it a little and really use the abs trying to get it to activate i did that it was a little fun but did nothing lol.
Then this past weekend the really bad thing occurred, i was pulling out of a parking lot just normal and the traction control kicked in and went nuts i couldn't drive the car i quickly thought to push the button to turn it off and it worked fine then both the abs light and traction light came on.
Now each day once the car is warmed up they both come on and i'm getting 3 messages across the screen. I plugged in the diablo to try and read some codes and it said there are none? im lost.
I have an 01 suburban and when the abs started acting up i just pulled the fuse and the truck works great i was wondering if i could do the same with the vette? its only driven in good weather and a little rain but i can be careful and just not get on it since the part for the suburban was like $1400 plus install im assuming this will be the same lol
