About 2 weeks ago, on my way to work, a deer ran into me. I instanly climbed on the brakes, it did not lock up any wheels. Never had a car with ABS before, but one thing I noticed was that the brake pedal seemed to have dropped a bit from under the pressure I had exerted on to it. I figured the ABS took something over or away from my input. Was only doing maybe 35-40mph. The light does not come on if I do not excede 58-60 mph. Although rare, I have been up to 65 and back off it to below 58mph W/O the light coming on.
If the light comming on seems to be speed related, inspect the wheel sensors and tone rings. Clean the sensors (they are magnets) with a little brush and get rid of any iron particles that may be sticking to them. When you inspect the tone rigns, look for a damaged tooth or even for a cracked tone ring.
