Post the codes (if you don't know how to do that, use the SEARCH function to find out how). Then post them here.

If the message came up when you had the steering wheel all the way to one side and were moving, the the sensors might of been pulled on and it will send that message. I still get the message sometimes if im turning real sharp.

It could be as simple as a loose connector at one of the wheels, that why the codes are so important.

IF it is the ABS unit, then www.absfixer.com will do it for about $300 and there is a forum member I saw a while ago that will fix it for $99.
