The Anti-lock brake system (ABS) control unit may fail internally causing the ABS warning light to illuminate.

    ABS and BRAKE lights come on at different times. Sometimes while driving. Most of the time after short hops to different stores etc. If I turn the engine on and off 3 or 4 times the lights will stay off for a day or two. I've been told the ABS control module is bad. Can not afford to get it fixed at this time.

    Brake warning lights(ABS and Brake)come on erratically but brakes still work. ABS braking has never worked. Thanks GM.

    Abs light come on & dealer said the the abs brake module is bad. It may stay off during cold mornings but always comes on when outside temp is warm. Brakes still operate well. I will have to pump brakes if car begins to skid. Would replace if I could find module cheap.

    ABS light on and brakes fail intermittently. Acts like the ABS is kicking in when it is not needed, so I slide instead of stopping.
