    Best to take it to a Holden Dealer or a Mechanic!

    for this exact reason, ppl have died, give yourself a notional uppercut, and leave wearing out your tyres to driving!

    So when you get pinched for cause death by dangerous driving, go to Court, plead with the Judge for mercy and not to have to go to prison, what do you think the Judge will say, 'it's OK lad, everyone does them!!'. Don't think so. Grow up.

    i have a vy 17s all round when i used to do skids it would come on but if i just rinsed the rear wheels with and did accelerated quickly dry bitumen i found it went away, and the abs worked fine.. dunno if abs has sensors but if it does ima say its soemthing to do with that, could be anything but seriously man... your best to stop with the skids especially in a nice vz im not gonna knock ya ive done it too but it doesnt take much to blow a diff cradle if you hit the gutter or smash a rim the costs just aint worth it....

    so it aint ya wheelsize from my point of view

    you'll get the abs warning if your brakes get too hot.

    tbh i'm surprised this thread is still open with all this talk about burnouts on public roads
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    Dont worry about these guys man there just old farts.
    Burnouts ftw! haha

    Ive got a vy ute and when i cut really tight or fast nuts the light comes on for a bit maybe 30secs or so but then goes away.

    I think its just sensing the car is out of control but dont really know lol
