Other than that the system isn't really good for much (compared to modern ABS systems). A lot of guys will bypass it altogether.
But for tracking down an issue; the rabs module, rabs unit itself, the VSS, the trans speed sensor and the cruise control are all tied into the same circuit that feeds info to the odometer (PSOM) so it can feed info to the PCM so it can tell the tranny when to shift.
Those are the things that are in any way related.
This is good info, thanks! I actually do get a little vibration when I have to break from 55+, but thought that was maybe just older drums (still could be)

As of today the light wasn't coming on, but will keep looking around this weekend.
