Just recently my CHECK ABS light lit up as i was coming up to traffic lights that were red... To my bloody surprise I HAD NO BRAKES the pedal seemed to be locked & i couldnt push the pedal no matter how much i stamped on the bloody thing, thankgod for handbrakes as i slid in tyres howling, smoke billowing followed by some heads shaking & "check out this idiot" looks.....
I pulled over had a look around to find no probs & ABS light had gone off... now im getting this warning light intermittently..
Any Ideas please someone

Same thing happened to me about 12 months ago. After stopping with the handbrake a few times, I had the ABS system checked. After 2 days of testing, one of the ABS sensors was found to be intermittantly faulty and giving false readings. Quite scary when the brake pedal goes to the floor and nothing!!!!!!!!!!!
The safest thng to do if any brake warning light comes on is stop and check the car. If it drives/stops OK get it to a dealer ASAP. If that means on a tow truck then so be it. Nothing worse then stopping with no brakes.
