ABS light
Background: I have a 95 Integra GSR with just over 87k on her. Last night I was installing a camber kit with my buddy who stopped by. During the install my buddy got one brake line got stuck between the fork and where the brake lines bolt down on the strut. It was in there pretty good, but I was able to get it out without use of extreme force. The line's integrity looked unharmed. Then when I was working on the other side and while trying to tear that bastard balljoint connected to the a-arm out of there so I could replace it with my new Skunk2 a-arm, I heard a strange noise and felt a little move. There's a line running to the bay from under the driver's side wheelwell (I'm assuming it's related to brakes) and that was stopping the assembly from giving any more. We got everything back together and everything seemed seamless.
Today I get in my car and start driving. The minute I get past barely rolling (let's say 5mph) the ABS light comes on. I had to get to school so there was no time to check it out then, but I just went out there and checked the fluid levels and they seemed ok. However, when checking the ABS resevoir I didn't even think to check that simple rubber cap as the means of adding fluid, so I pulled her off and what was in there leaked out. BUT it was close to if not all the way full when I read from the side. My question is why is the light coming on? Obviously I will need to put some fluid in now, but my brake resevoir and my ABS resevoir were both full. Does the car need to be running or just ran when I check them? Since the light comes on once I really get going could it be one of the wheel magnetic detector things?
Sorry about the long post, I just want everything to be able to be considered. Thanks in advance.
