That souinds like a bummer. But having the lift is cool. I regularly rent the ABS Amigo to forum members. PM me for details if you need it.

Can someone please confirm if am wrong ?
-----> When jacking up a wheel, or both, or just moving the suspension, or spinning by hand a brake disk, with no ignition key; the SLABS system detects the anomaly and later triggers the 3 or 4 amigos; as the system is always on.
Is always on or in some kind of alert state as shown by the faint buzzing by the modulator and a relay in the fuse box. *

Should it be recommended to disconnect the battery also when playing with suspension, levelling, brakes, bearings, spinning, speed sensors or replacing brake pads so the Wabco SLABS system does not interpret such actions as fault ?

* I have measured with oscilloscope all the terminals at the ABS modulator and they do receive a signal for its electrovalves from the SLABS compfuser, even with no ignition key in place.

Edit: I realized this post may be taken as 'hijacking' Sorry if true. Please indicate and I will delete .

I'm in Jackson NJ, anyone local has the Spanish friend?
I think I pulled a wire some where. Or maybe one the wheel sensors is out of place...do they just push back in to the hub?

Yes sir! All four lights are on steady and I topped off brake fluid. Abs and TC do NOT work, I have a feeling that one the wheel sensors is pulled out of the hub or a wire is stretched. Do the sensors just push into the hub?

My money is on some other cause other then you installing a lift. I have helped lots of people over the years install lifts and never had a problem.
Get a 3 amigo scanner and read the codes, then you will know for sure.
