@kev0 I think there would be a CEL (actual CEL and not just your ABS/trac lights) with readable codes for broken ABS module if it was there.
Is there any part of your tune that might disable CEL or limp mode? I think you might look to your tuner for support on this. |

Best of luck, but given your post history here @kev0, I'd advise you against modifying your car further. You simply do not have the knowledge or the budget to do it correctly, and you are only going to cause yourself heartache, as you have been doing so continuously already.

@kev0 check this post by @steve99 :
"The lost comms with transmssion computer is [n]ormal on auto cars when you reflash the engine ecu. TheC1288 code seems to indicate a problem with a pressure sensor that feeds into abs\vcs conputer. Posibly brake pressure sensor. The engine and abs computers are likely ok Check the brake lights and see if the brake switch is working, failed brake switch xan upset the abs computer as it doesnt know when pedal is pressed" http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...98&postcount=3 thread link http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120129 Seemed to have tracked it down to a bug in ecutek. |

I know the EJ motors are fairly different from the FA motors, but my WRX would flicker the oil light when coming to a stop after it ate through a quart of oil. The pickup was being starved by braking because my oil level was too low. I imagine your situation is the same. You still haven't answered, so I'll ask again, have you checked your oil level, properly? Explain how you check your oil level, too. Pay attention to if the vehicle is level, how ling the vehicle has been sitting, and wipe first, dip second, check third. It's worth looking at, especially if it means not having to deal with a mechanic.

I let it cool down for 10 minutes, take out the dipstick, wipe it, insert it fully, take it out and read side with the lower reading. Oil temps got up to 208 today which worried me. Going to get it switched out to 5w30 because I am boosted now.. not sure if that will fix the problem. |

Do you have OpenFlash tablet, or ECUtek? Depending on your tune revision, Racerom 10 has a bug that causes a couple CELs like that. Sorry, this has nothing to do with your oil light, but I have to leave B01C and go back to A01C to use Racerom10, since it has built in boost control without needing customer maps to accomplish it.

The next thing I might look ar if it's only coming on with brakes is grounds to the motor and the sensor itself. Is the light dim or very present? Constant? The sensor uses only one wire and is just a simple pressure switch that's normally open, meaning it will light if that wire finds ground anywhere. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |

That said, driving without a reliable oil pressure light, even if it's a false alarm is scary, so not a dumb idea to not drive it until it's fixed. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |
