Replaced PSOM, ABS Light On

I replaced my PSOM to fix my flashing OD light and limp mode issue. Now my ABS light comes on before it shifts into 2nd gear every time I drive. Could this be due to larger tires and the PSOM not being calibrated to the same calibration as the old PSOM, or is it something else? Pulled the OBD2 codes, and there’s nothing showing there. I don’t know how to do the test to make the ABS light flash. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should definitely calibrate for you tire size. This would not only eliminate it as a possibility but also correct your speedometer.

I'm not sure what all causes that light to come on with an auto. On my manual it comes on if there's an issue with the sensor on the diff, which also what reads the speed for the speedometer.

Much appreciated. I’ll calibrate tomorrow for sure. The sensor is in good shape, as I had to test everything in the VSS circuit when I was having issues with my PSOM and flashing OD light.

Update

Calibrated the PSOM correctly. Still getting the ABS light in 2nd gear. I did notice that my brake lights aren’t working though. 3rd brake light still works though.

Brake lights aren't working, just the high third mount? Do the turn signals work?

Just the 3rd high works. No turn signals or flashers

Solved

Problem solved. I had a loose flasher relay from when I pulled the dash to chase electrical gremlins. Thanks for the help! Asking about turn signals got me thinking about the relay on the fuse panel in the cab.
