That "may" be "a" cause then ... your computer thinks your running the factory tire size but the signal it's getting dosen't match. So it throws the code.

Before you go off to the dealer to have the computer programmed to calculate based on a 35" tire, I'd get out the 'ole multi-meter and make sure everything is everything first.

I changed the front pass side bearing hub and I am now the ABS light stays on. I thought maybe the new sensor cable is bad, so I put on the old cable and when braking the abs kicks in on that side and not the driver, but no light. put the new cable back on and it brakes fine, could not get the abs to kick in, but has a light on. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I am having the same issues, and have yet to figure this out. In fact I have ordered a scanner to help to figure this out and am just waiting for it to get here. Tired to having to pay $100 every time to take it in and get it scanned. I'll keep ya posted.

Does anyone know if there is a diffenece b/t the driver and pass hubs with the speed gear for the abs? If the driver is on the pass side would it throug off the abs sensor?

No, the sensor and the hub for that matter are interchangeable.
