ABS Active Light Coming On While Cruising
OK, I have two problems I think are related. When I had my ABS active at the track there were a couple of times that the brakes gave up way more than they should have and I wound up going off-track - it was very inconsistent. Secondly, my "ABS Active" light sometimes comes on for about 1 second or less while I am just driving down the road. Anybody else had anything like this happen? Thanks.

Brake fluid has been flushed within the last 1k miles with Motul RBF600 - i never hit the track without it 
I read the article before I posted and it doesn't say anything about this symptom. Keep them coming

Same problem here. ABS actve light pops on once in a while. Brakes haven't felt right since I bought my 91 from my brother about 3 months ago. He had the master cylinder replaced right before I bought the car.

Hi Deepa, glad you can laugh about it but me personally, anytime the car is acting up causes me great agita. I'm about to put her away for the winter and save up some $ for the up coming repair/Mod next spring. But you do have the right attitude because it could be so much worse.http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/smash.gif

The abs works fine. Have had to use it at times. Changes from asphalt to cement over expansion joints trigger it every time. Works great in test panic stops too.
Ive cleaned the wheel sensors, flushed fluids, and installed drm brake lines to no avail.
