Still dealing with a code for the left front wheel excessive wheel spin. Seem to remember this problem starting on or about the time the lines went on. Sometimes the car will go for 30 miles wthout tripping a code and sometimes it will happen in just a mile. I checked the wheel speed sensor and it appears to be within spec. I also checked the removable cable that connects the sensor to the main line to the computer. This also checked out.
I guess I am still wondering if the SS line is the culprit and causing this problem. I don't want to order one new line (if possible) and put it on just to have the same issue and thought about just replacing both fronts with the OEM rubber ones. Has anyone else had the same problem and seen it disappear with just getting rid of the SS lines or just installing another SS line? Also can I just get one line?

Check out Bob's Part A in the Ken Fitchner forum. There is a diagnostic there for this problem. It appears to be a static electricity problem from the metal line. No mention of a fix though, just a notice to the dealers. You may want to read it though.

Grounding straps have helped in a number of cases. Also make sure those clips that hold the lines in the brackets are VERY VERY TIGHT! I know with some kits the clips are verry loose. I went to great effort to get the right clips. When they are right you have to tap them in with a small hammer. Originally Posted by drcoffee

Very common problem with SS brake lines. It is static or electrical noise.
Owners of some Corvettes have experienced Service ABS, Service Active Handling and Service Traction Control messages. Wheel speed sensor codes may be set. This condition may be caused by replacing the OEM rubber brake hoses with aftermarket stainless steel brake hoses.
It is believed that the metal in the brake lines conducts static electricity, causing confusion in the wheel speed sensors.
The brake hoses must be returned to original rubber ones before the case can be investigated. This is a customer-pay expense.

Sounds like BS to me but who knows.

I figured I would get this response!
Can't really say the SS lines made much of a difference anyway! You would think that a SS line would ground better then a rubber one!
Maybe it's the fact that it DOES conduct electricty that causes the problem.......
Needless to say I am sick of the problem and don't want to spend too much time dickin around with it. I think I am going to stuff the stock lines back on the front....
