ABS Lights, Intermittent... Options

[6gcs3nz]

Hi guys

Please help...

I have recently noticed that when I start my car, sometimes the ABS light would come on and stay on. If I turn the car off... and restart - it is fine.

Seems to happen if I turn more often if I just start it up. Doesn't happen when I place the ignition to on stage - wait for a few seconds after the light goes off - then start the motor.

Not sure if that means anything 'cause last night... when I was going to park the car the light came on again. Grrrr... its a pain as it is intermittent so I can't place a set pattern on it for sure.

Any ideas would greatly help before the next due warrant (May)

just a guess but maybe you need to change ur brakes?

Breaks are sweet - I've checked the pads - I replaced them 4 months ago

Did you check ALL the brakes AND rotors? I know when I needed new rear brakes about a year ago my ABS light came on.
Also my light came on a few weeks ago during a real cold day with freezing rain. The light wouldn't go off but I didn't think I needed new brakes. So, I pulled the fuse for the ABS and re-installed it and the light hasn't come back on since ( except when intially starting the car - like it's supposed to ). You can try pulling the fuse and see if that does anything.
