I am sorry this is a repeat question from a while ago. I am no ABS expert by any means and many of you have been there before. Today I was running around town most of the afternoon. For long stretches of time, the yellow ABS light would come on and remain on for most of the time I was on the road. It didn't do it ALL the time but very often. Sometimes it just went out by itself. It always went off if I started the car and just sat there. Braking was normal and not a problem. Fluid is fine. The shop manual mentions as possible problems:
- main power relay
- fluid level indicator switch
- pressure warning switch
- actuator or actuator ground strap (is this the accumulator?)
- wheel sensors
- solenoid valve block unit
- pump motor relay
I am assuming that under normal conditions, when the ABS kicks in the yellow light comes on. I don't hear a pump going under the hood so I tend to discount that avenue. Has anyone encountered any other problems that I can add to the list of checking? I am so strapped for time lately, I was just hoping to get input from you guys who have been there to help me check these things out.
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
Have a great week and my best to all.
