My '00 Base threw a CEL the other night and when I pulled the code, it was a 61. No biggie, I've had it before and Ill just replace the O2 sensor. The issue is that the ABS started to blink codes (61 and 81) as well, and the ABS light was NOT on during normal driving. I know that ABS 81 is the central processing unit and 61 is the ignition voltage.

The O2 sensor I can deal with and change out easily on a lift....the ABS codes I have no idea what to do. If this was a real problem, why didn't the car throw the ABS light on and let me know what was going on? It sounds like there was a power hiccup to the CPU and the voltage dipped, which may have confused it.

I will be resetting the ECU and seeing if the car does the same thing, but I just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone else has seen this with the ABS light before.

I had a similar issue on my 99 base. When I yanked my code (with the paperclip method) my CEL and ABS lights both flashed. I replaced the O2 sensor, cleared the ECU, and everything was copacetic. I say don't worry about it.
