    Abs tone ring

    I just put new R1 rotors, ceramic pads, and ss brake lines on yesterday and found the abs tone ring was cracked through on the pass front, my abs light has been on for a while is this the likely cause for the light?

    erland,
    I was doing the same 3 mods last week and came across the same problem. I am still waiting on the ring parts. I was told by my mechanic that it would certainly cause the abs light to stay on.

    ok I have the new tone ring installed seemed to not fit properly, made a little noise when first starting to go but quits when gets up to speed. How can I get the abs light to go off?

    IMO, it shouldn't be making any noise at all, there is most likely a fitment issue. (sounds like wrong part from your description)

    I just installed my old tone rings on new rotors, there is no noise at any speed.

    Were you able to get your ABS light to turn off?

    I just installed the new rotor from r1 concepts (supplied at no charge!) tone ring dropped right in unlike with other rotor. I need to drive it to see if the light will go off. I would assume it needs to go a certain # of miles before it would decide to reset. If it does not go off I will have to take it in for diagnosis.

    hey just a quick 2 cents...... disconnect your negative battery terminal for about 15 minutes, it will reset your computer and help your ABS light come off
