OK, had a really strange event during shut down this evening. When I get home every night, I let it idle for about 30-45 seconds to cool down a bit. For some reason, tonight, just as I was about to twist the key off (my hand was reaching for it, but not touching it), I heard a "DING" and noticed the "ABS" light was on. I let it set for a second, and it went back off. This is the first time that has ever happened, although I have suffered from numerous flashes of the "CHECK GAGES" light. Anyone else had this one??

 

Mine comes on momentarily at almost every start up. I think it is just the computer doing its check out.

 

anybody here disconnected that **** abs?? with four wheel disc threshold braking is much safer IMO and I know I can stop faster, don't know why they started putting it on as standard equipment. :<br><br>Paul

 

Yeah, they always come on at startup for the diagnostic routine. But, this was while it was idling, just so happened to be when I was getting ready to shut down. Fired it up this morning, and there were no problems, so maybe I just have a gremlin somewhere... :

 

Did you ever determine the problem?

I had one occurrence of this happening while it was running. Never happened again. However, what I do have happen about half the time, is I get the ding just after starting the engine when the ABS light goes out. Half the time, I don't get a ding.

Do you get a ding at startup, or does the light just go out?

Mine did this several times. After having the flash for the &quot;Check Gauges&quot; light done, I've not seen it since. At first I was a bit concerned by it, but I checked my brakes after it happened the first several times to find nothing. I'm assuming it was associated with the &quot;Check Gauges&quot; TSB.
