Antilock light came on after car sat for 2 to 3 weeks

[randizzle420]

My 2g eclipse gsx has been running fine. I don't drive it that much so it sat for like 2-3 weeks. Then I start it up to drive up the block and the yellow antilock light came on instantly when I turned the car on (it's never been on before). Could this be from the battery? I read try driving the car for half an hour to see if charging the battery fixes it. Any other suggestions?

I drove the car for half an hour but that didn't make it go away. I disconnected the negative terminal for a few seconds then tried again and still on. I read I'm supposed to leave it off for at least 15 minutes or something?

If you remove both of the battery terminals and touch them together for a minute or so it will discharge all capacitors and do a total reset. If the light stays on after that it's time to pull the codes.

How do you pull codes on a 95? I heard using a paperclip. The only shop that I know of that could probably pull the codes is road race engineering in LA but it's a 3 hour drive. I heard 95s are a transition year so most scanners won't work on it

If you have an earlier model with OBDI it will have a diagnostic port. A paper clip is one of many ways. You just have to have a jumper of some sort.

yeah that didn't work the light is still on. is there a scanner I can buy to pull the codes? I read that the paper clip only works for 1997 and up or something not on the 1995s.
