Thumbs up Pulled out the ABS dash light, but now the break light is on??

So I pulled out the ABS light bulb, because one of the sensors is probably dead. But now after driving like 200 meters the break light comes on. When I put the ABS bulb back in it doesn't happen.

I need to get rid of the ABS light to get pass the inspection... Why does the break light come on and how can I avoid that?

it is a safety feature to prevent someone from doing what you did. the same goes with the air bag system. some cars like fords "i know for sure" a buzzer will sound.
gotta love the OBDII computer system.

Interesting...

Is it possible to fool it? Maybe put a broken bulb in there...
