"Antilock"

[mndsm1]

Decided to remove my rear seats today due to the fact that nobody ever sits in the back. Turned on the car and noticed that the "Antilock" light is on. The removing of the seats wouldnt have anything to do with the light would it? I also removed the female part of the belt so nothign is in the back anymore, and also plugged back in the sensor that is supposed to be plugged in.

No, removing rear seats have nothing to do with the antilock light. That's your ABS going off. Check your brakes.

what should i check as far as brakes? Do you mean check the reservoir to make sure theres enough fluid? pad life?

Fluid level first, and try to see both pads on each rotor on all 4 wheels.
When was the last time your ABS "worked" while you were driving the car?
My 1g ABS is fairly aggressive and I'm about 2 days from removing the system entirely.


Your ABS rings may be dirty(very dirty) or a wire on the sensor may have broken.
On some obd1 scan tools you can see your VSS and wheel abs sensors, at least I think obd1 has that capability.
I know for sure on any obd2 car thats possible.

Just to make sure> there is abs stuff in the back, under the interior panel on the passenger side. The wiring connector there is for that, the rear speakers and the door switch.

The cars been back up and running for only about a month now so I really havent had anything checked as far as break wise. Havent come across a time to use abs yet haha.

So there is something to do with abs ?

Yes, I just finished removing it from my car a couple weeks back. As mentioned, passenger side, behind the interior panel (that holds the speaker cover) that large wiring harness that runs along the floor is for that and the other things I said (possibly your electric seat belts too if you have them).

It also leaves there and goes thru a hole in the center of the floor to the under side of the car, where it splits off and goes to each of the rear wheels.

I completely broke that harness down to leave only the speaker wires and the ones for the door switch, then put it back in the car...
