Unhappy Messed up ABS line.. HELP!

Today I was installing my koni's (rear), and I accidentally stretched one of the ABS lines, now my ABS light goes on, and when I stomp on the brakes, it doesn't use ABS.. is there anyway I can fix this? how much will it cost? do I just need a new ABS line (the one I stretched).. thanks for all your help!

sure, then get an odb2 scanner and clear the code after the line replacement.

you know that thing you plug in under the center part of the dash, like right where your gas pedal is. reach up under the plastic and youll find a diagnostic port. plug in the odb2 scanner there and youll get readouts of all the codes that caused the CEL. then just clear them when youve replaced the line

I did the same thing...haven't fixed mine yet...Just cuz it got pulled on a little, that means you have to replace it? I was under the impression it probably just got pulled out of place somewhere...and I'd be able to just reposition it back in.

why don't you just try resetting your SRS light, seems to me that would do the trick.
