Default DIC Message--Check ABS and Traction Control. Another Wheel Sensor??

This occurred once before several months ago,(1,500 miles) took it to the dealer and they replaced a front wheel sensor. Now at 3,300 miles it has appeared again. The first time I was really mashing it. This time just getting to around 4,500 rpm's on an Interstate on ramp and bingo. My schedule will preclude me getting it to a dealer for a few days. Will there be a problem driving it for a few days, if I drive like it is a Honda Accord? Thanks. Nick

There are a couple of things that this can be. You will get this light sometimes when there is too much brake dust on the sensor. Just wash it off and see if that clears it up.
Second could be another wheel sensor. In this case, you should be able to drive it with no problems until you can make it to the dealer. Test the car out and see if you actually do not have ABS. If you don't, remember that in your driving style.
Good Luck,
