Line Lock Throws ABS
Hello! My line lock seems to throw my ABS... is there a graceful solution (hardware / software) for this or what is up with guys and line locks? I have the JEGS line lock installed.

That’s a common problem on the later model C6s, apparently because they have a pressure sensor downstream of the master cylinder. Mine does that too. Just keep your foot resting lightly on the brake pedal (just enough to activate the brake light circuit), whenever you have the line lock engaged and don’t let off the pedal until you release the line lock. It’s takes a little bit of practice, but pretty soon you’ll get it down pat and won’t have to worry about the light again. I still mess up every once in a while and it throws the ABS light on the dash because I let off the brake pedal too early. If that happens, all you have to do is clear that is shut the car off, open and close the driver’s door and fire it back up. And don’t forget to disarm the traction control after you’ve done that. Don’t ask why I say that...

ha! I really liked the part where I sent it with no ABS and trapped 140 and had to stop! haha... I will definitely work on it, I wonder if there is a better way to work the line lock, perhaps it should be throw in beyond the pressure sensor(likely not possible or easy, clearly i'm not the first to walk this path)
Good info though, thank you. I will check it out and try.
