Default ABS off blinking after installing F-Sport Rear sway bar and F-Sport Lowering springs.

My IS-350 looks and rides a lot nicer, but my "ABS Off" indicator is flashing after installing the F-Sport Rear sway bar and F-Sport lowering springs! VSC and other alarms are not affected. Any of you guys ran into same problem?

Does anyone have any pics of the ABS sensors? I would like to know exactly where they are, so I can try reseating them or something. Are they the same as what they call as "speed sensors"?

Please help, before I spend a fortune by taking it to the dealer!

Thanks in advance. Happy 4th everyone!

I don't have a pic right now, but it is on the rear driver's side. All you need to do is loosen the bolt and move the arm into the correct position. See link below.

Whitecel you're a genious! Hahah. I checked again this morning, and this time I put on my glasses. It's AFS off indicator flashing and not ABS! Whew! I feel so much better!

I'll follow the alignment procedure on the link you provided.

Thanks again!

Lol it should be a quick fix. Helped another member install sway bars and had the same problem. Once we knew where the afs sensor was, it was fixed in a few minutes. You don't even have to jack up the car if you are stock height if i remember correctly.

We got it fixed. It was piece of cake. This pic from combfilter was very helpful:

Thanks again Whitecel, I have a feeling you knew it was AFS all along and not ABS. You just wanna be nice and not call me stupid! Hahah!

Thanks to combfilter for the pic.

Admin: Don't move this thread. There might be old people out there like me who refuse to wear glasses. LOL
