ABS light

Had a strange thing happen last night on the way home from work. I had to get on it a little bit coming out of the parking lot so as not to get run over by traffic, but I don't think it was hard enough for the A4WD to kick in, at least it didn't feel like it. But as I was doing it, the ABS light came on. It stayed on all the way home, however this morning when I fired it up it was off again. What would cause that?

On mine a faulty rear speed sensor caused my abs light to come on, but to know for sure you'll have to read the diagnostic trouble code.

The Speed sensor on the rear diff is the number one cause of ABS light coming on. It's really easy to replace and you can avoid the dealer slapping you for a couple hundred bucks. The new sensor is about $25. I wish I had just replaced it before I even took it in to the shop.

There are several good posts on the replacement process....
