Hi:
The most likely cause of the ABS light coming on is a faulty wheel speed sensor. Your vehicle will still drive normally, but your ABS light means you don't have Anti Lock Brakes functioning. An easy way to figure out what is going on is to have an auto parts store download the codes on your vehicle, and they can tell you what tripped the ABS light, and you can go from there.
Testimonial: "Thanks, This answer has eased my mind, will get a check done, Many thanks, John,"
I had the same problem with my 2001 disco, but I had abs,traction cont, manual height all one for no reason all I did was put the key in turned on the Ignition. I think the elect system has a logic all of its own and if for some reason it gets a spurious signal or if one of the sensors is slow then the warning light comes on and bear in mind they are all linked i was lucky I had a good friend who had a computer with a plug and connected it into the car and he cleared all the fault codes and they have not come back. So just because these come on do not think the worst. david john
