No. Brake fluid level is good. I don't know where to look. Does the brake light throw a code?

check the senors around ur rear wheels sometimes they can knocked up against the tires if the tires are wider than stock

well there wont be any DTCs, you need an abs code reader. You would have to take it to a mechanic or dealer to get them read unless you have your own. I actually just purchased one yesterday online, it'll be here tomorrow. I am having abs issues in my exploder, so im gonna say screw the dealer and do it myself.

I just bought it and the guy was running 275's on stock wheels. I put 245's back on. Where are those sensors at?

What's the complete size of both tires? If the aspect ratio is the same number, you have shorter tires with the 245's, thus throwing off your speed sensor reading.

But really, when a light comes on, whether is be the engine light, ABS light, etc... You really have to have a DTC to start diagnosing anything. MIL's can be tripped by such a broad range of things, you need the code to have and clue where to look.

the senors are right the brake rotors. you take off the rotors you will see it looks kinda like it has metal hairs or something sticking off of it
