Intermittent ABS light

<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1 itxtvisited="1"> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_start --><!-- END TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_start -->With all the snow, yesterday I got a ABS light on two different occasions. This was traveling in four-five drifts. ABS still worked.

I am thinking it was more of a communication error. Anyone else have this issue? Ideas?

Mr. Scott,

Kind of related,

My '01 Montana with ABS sometimes acts up when driving in wet conditions. Not very often, but once in a while. Usually all it takes to correct it is shutting the engine off and re-starting it.
The odd thing is,,, the ABS is still active even if the warning light is on. I have been able to test it a couple of times with the warning light on while braking in the snow and on a gravel road.

that is exactly how it works, first time I shut the truck off, then start and it is gone. Second time I ignored it as I was trying to get through a big drift and didn't want to stop that one went away on its own.

I suppose I should add that I never did figure out a fix. It doesn't happen very often and it doesn't seemed to affect drivabilty or saftey. I've learned to live with it.
After all,,, I always have my Truck to fall back on if needed.

well load tested the batteries today, everything checks out. I had alot of snow pack all around the wheels so I think it was just road junk that caused the error.
