Did they change the brake fluid? Ive heard of good results from simply flushing the brake fliud to clean out the RABS valve that somtimes tends to get stuck.

Anti lock

I had to do a complete brake job front and rear flush the system then mine was ok and light went out.There is some way to pull codes off the antilock system maybe the site admin will answer in on this.

I would start with checking the fluid level, then make sure the rear brakes are adjusted properly, then pull the code (I have a link on this procedure in the tech info thread at the top of this forum), then do the brake fluid flush.

You did say if the red parking brake light stays on too.

abs light

just a long shot, mine comes on at times also, mine is due to the key switch not fully coming off the start position. try wiggling the key. i lost my radio during these phases too.

It's OK to drive, the brakes will work like standard brakes without RABS.
