abs light

i was coming to a stop this morning and felt something through my brake pedal...kind of like when the abs is working. brakes felt fine afterward, but the abs light went on and is staying on. i checked for trouble codes with my sct x2 and it shows no codes. any idea what happened? why the light is still on? thanks.

Is it possible that your speed sensor works not at all times ?

Check the resistor from the speed sensor ? (rear differential)

You will need to use an ABS capable code reader to find out what tripped the ABS light. It can be as simple as a brake light.

Odds seem to favor the rear ABS sensor, but I'd recommend obtaining the code before playing with that sensor and potentially adding to the problem.
