>Joe, First whenever you start your car the ABS computer performs a
electrical check of al componets. When the car begins to move the light
should go out. If the light comes on while driving its usually a speed
sensor problem. I suggest you take the car to the dealer and have them
check the ABS system for any codes. For whatever its worth: The ABS used in
VW and Audi has been very very trouble free. I only see 1 complaint a year.
