I've recently installed a coilover suspension on the 99 Q45t. After the install during test driving, TCS, SLIP, and ABS lights came on at the same time and will not turn off unless the ignition is turned off. I'd appreciate any help if anyone has idea what the problem is.

Thanks in advance.

Was it the JIC set-up? Please give us a report once it is sorted.

A long time ago, my 97's ABS, SLIP, and TCS lights came on at the same time. I followed the instructions in the FSM (Factory Service Manual) and found that the ABS relay (located in the enigne bay, close to firewall, passenger side) was bad. I replaced the relay and the problem was fixed.

Prior to the problem, the ABS, SLIP, and TCS lights still came on at the same time, but it was inconsistent. It was like they were ON for a few minutes, turned OFF for a while or vice versa until one day they were completely ON.

Since your problem did not have a warning like mine did, I'd assume that it did not come from the ABS relay but some other locations close to the struts and shocks because of the coilover installation, like FarFetch suggested.

By the way, do you have the FSM on hand? It's really helpful when it comes to an electrial problem with multiple sensors like this.

Oh...Please post pic of the set-up! I wanna drool on it, too.
