Sometimes the ABS light comes on when I am on the freeway, or when I go over bumps. Turning off the car, and on again resets it. But it seems kind of odd. Anyone have this problem?   Mark Devereux (Groupw) Member Username: Groupw Post Number: 73 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 11:11 am:    Check your wheel speed sensors. (Black cable leading to a plug in the top of your front hubs.) Its not uncommon for them to withdraw a mm or two, confusing your ABS. Just clean the area around them and push them down. The more expensive alternative is that you have a bad sensor, but with an intermittant problem I doubt it.   Gerardo Garza (Gerry) (Mapmaker97) New Member Username: Mapmaker97 Post Number: 12 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 01:37 pm:    Eric, If I'm not mistaken, I think this was a recall item a couple of years back. I made the same comment to my dad while we were driving to Home Depot, around two years ago. A couple of weeks after that, I got a letter from LRNA to call my local dealer and schedule an appointment. You may want to call your dealer and ask if your diso was one of the many recalls for this particular incident. Good Luck, Gerry   Eric (Epuffy) New Member Username: Epuffy Post Number: 28 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 05:44 pm:    Thanks guys! I guess i'm calling my local dealership tomorrow morning!
