URGENT!!! ABS INOP Light when EBrake it Down
Can anyone help me with this.
If I have the ebrake up on the car, everything is as it should be. Only the "brake" like is on. When I put the ebrake down, the "low trac" comes on and goes off, and the "ABS Inop" light comes on and stays on. The Low trac and ABS inop come on right as the ebrake is let down. I have checked everything but the EBCM.
Any help is appreciated.

The sensor is held in by a single bolt. Remove the wiring harness, remove the bolt and pull straight up on the sensor. There is an o-ring on it. Look for metal particles clinging to it. Wipe it off with a rag. A good flush with brake cleaner should take care of any remaining crud.

Shoe,
My '97 doesn't seem to have a sensor on the differential. It has a wire sleeve that comes out of the wire block on the body (like your photo shows). It splits and heads down to each brake caliper, but only has a holder tab on top of the differential. Any suggestions as to how to proceed from here?

Does your 97 have traction control? If so, there is no sensor on the center section. Their are individual sensors on each axle backing plate, and an exposed reluctor gear on the axles.

That's it. The two wire bundles leave the connector block and run down to each wheel. What's the troubleshooting procedure? My center-mount light works and the brake lever is fully down. I also swapped the relay from the '95 to see if that was it (they both were marked "ABS VI" so I figured I was safe. Still both lights are one and the TCS switch does nothing.

You sort of jumped into the middle of an old thread, without telling us what the symptoms are.
Is the "BRAKE" light on?
Is the "ABS INOP" light on?
If the "BRAKE" light is on, you may have a leak in the brake lines, low brake fluid may have allowed air in the system, etc. The "BRAKE" light indicates uneven pressure between the front and rear braking systems. Logically, if you have a problem with your brakes, the ABS system isn't going to function correctly, and gets deactivated.

Any troubleshooting guidance is most appreciated.
Fwiw, we did win a trophy for "Best of the '90s". My 10-year-old was ecstatic.
