    Hey guys,

    My frined has a 99 Acura Integra and had her clutch replaced the other day. Since then her ABS light keeps coming on. Do you see any connection??

    Could be a coincidence, maybe something isn't plugged in.

    ABS, brakes and clutch (if hydraulic) share the same fluid supply in car, the brake fluid reservior. It is possible that when they bled the clutch, some air got into the system and one of the ABS lines has air in it. May be as simple as bleeding the system. A diagnostic done at the stealership shoudl tell why it's on (motor burned out, vs. electronics, vs. unplugged)

    YES! I think you may be spot on.

    they would have had to take the shortest driveshaft out to pull the 'box, so it's possible they have damaged the abs sensor on the hub, or it's wiring, or simply forgot to plug it in after they put the shaft back and refitted the lower arm. Usually (but not always!) if the abs light stays off after start up but comes on over 30mph it indicates a sensor issue.

    Hmmm. thanks for the tip. It has been sporatic but didn't ask her about a speed threshold.
