    Check engine, cruise, abs lights?

    Reading through this link, it says any time the CEL is triggered, the ECU will disable traction control and cruise control. Would traction control flip the ABS light? It seems to make sense to me, and I think abs=traction control on some other cars I've had but 1) some wrxs had the front/rear power thing and 2) I'm kinda stupid. So if anyone is willing to say "Yeah, that's likely" then I won't bother messing with either of those for now. (The only trouble codes I have left are for the intake runners/tgv and the secondary air pumps). TIA.

    What year ecu are you running that has traction/stability control?
    On my 2005 STI if the ABS fails it lights the ABS and DCCD lights, and disables them. I've had lots of CELS and they've never disabled other functions, at least that I can tell. Same on my 818R with the JDM ECU from 2003.

    WOW, sorry I missed this Gator. You've been a huge help to me over the last few years, didn't mean to leave you hanging.

    It's 2006 2.5 MT. I got my Tactrix, removed the Air Pump and TGV codes, and the CEL, ABS, and Cruise light all went away.
