Alternator replaced now ABS and CEL flashes

Post by shuan24 »

Recently my alternator had gone out (171k miles, 92 GS) and I had replaced it with a 90 amp alternator. After replacement, the ABS light is constantly on, and the Check Engine light flashes on and off. The CEL turns on mainly when I am accelerating, but even that is inconsistent.

Does anyody know whether the stock alternator is 70 amp or 90 amp?

Has anybody ever encountered a similar problem?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Stock V6 alternator is 90 amps. If you keep getting CEL, try resetting the ECU (search for procedure).
