Ok so last night after swapping in my new 08+ headlights, i turn the car on and flick the lights on to check them out. When turned off, i heard something, happened to be the ABS system still buzzing... ABS light was ON. I pulled the fuses, they were good and the system was still buzzing with them out. I had to disconnect the negative terminal for the ABS to shutdown, everytime i reconnected the negative it turned back on? What could be the issue here?


Also i got the Cam position sensor code thrown when we did the scan....my car has issues starting, especially when warm and parked to run in somewhere to get food and come out, i usually sit in the lot for quite some time. This is on the back of the head right?

 

I mean, how extensive was your headlight install? What did you all monkey with? At this point, I'd place blame on the the headlight/install, they have to be related to your problem. If you had to tap into somewhere, then something is getting thrown off.

 

i mean we took out the headlights, then swapped the new ones in lol.
we didnt have to touch anything near the ABS.

weird coincidence?

 

Hmm. I guess so man. Get it diagnosed I guess...

 

ABS is weird and definitely needs diagnosed. As far as the Cam sensor, test the resistance cold should be between 1000-1200 and when the car is at operating temperature should be 1200-1400. If its within spec, check the wiring, if not replace the sensor. Also test the Crank sensor as well cold 1200-1400, hot 1400-1600. I believe these are the specs if not they are very close. Warm start could be bad ignition coils, it happened to me and had me scratching my head.
