CEL Help

ok so a few things....

you have an e30 diff correct?

so are you running your ti speed sensor or the e30 sensor?

i ran my sensor off of my ti in the e30 diff. it lined up the same direction and everything.

if you need me to i could go tkae a picture of it in the diff and you could go from there. but i would make sure its connected and the wires look good. also just make sure its tight .

Actually, i have an E28 (7-series) diff with an E30 cover. I think the sensor im using is from the E30 cover. What im going to do is try and remove the sensor off the open diff (stock ti diff) and try that one.

If the problem is fixed, would the ABS light remove on its own, or will it need to be reset?

[thesk8nmidget]

umm im not sure about the light but i bet your problem is the sensor.

let us know how it turns out

I know exactly what the problem is. Actually I knew what it was all along. PayPal me 20 bucks and I'll tell you

I took out the sensor from my open 318ti diff and put it into this one. I cleared the code. The CEL light came back up. I just hope its for the DISA this time only and not for the vehicle speed.

My car passed inspection almost 2 yrs ago with my CEL on. My problem was with the DISA sensor/valve.

just put a picture of a good looking girl in front of your cluster and call it good. someone obn here has done that and they never looked at the light.

Ive gotten that code since i installed my supercharger. LoL. Tuning Technique was suppose to have removed it but it still keeps coming up.

Not a bad idea.

I installed a 3.46 LSD. I know my ASC still works fine.

I never had any codes come up when I swapped in my E28 3.46 LSD. I also swapped to E30 halfshafts. Maybe you damaged the ABS sensors when you swapped halfshafts.

I have the same thing as you. Ill check the abs too.

[thesk8nmidget]

the e30 shafts i got didnt have the teeth like my ti shafts did so the abs sensors wouldnt sense it right and i got a light from it.

on your e30 shafts that you used have teeth where the sensor is located or was it smooth?

[L84THSKY]

You have to use halfshafts from a car that came with ABS. Some E30's did, some didn't. Without the teeth, I don't think the ABS will work.

[thesk8nmidget]

exactly.

i have the shafts with no teeth and it made the light come on.

abs seems to still work i have tried stomping the brakes in the rain and it still doesnt slide.
