Default Intermittent ABS & BRAKE lights in the speedo

For the last week or two I have been getting the ABS and BRAKES lights coming on, not in the center pictograph digital read-out, but in the speedometer.

Sometimes the lights will come on, along with three shrill beeps, as soon as I start the car, and sometimes they don't.

Sometimes, when the lights have gone on upon start-up, they will stay on, and sometimes they go out after a minute or two.

Is anyone familiar with this problem, and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance . . .

Sounds like you abs module is going intermittent. Alas they do that, but they can also be rebuilt. Just do a search on the web, you'll find a rebuilder.

ABS module needs send to module masters and rebuild.

I wonder if this is some sort of engineered obsolescence. The same wire breaks on all of them! I resoldered mine...... Worked for a few days, 100 miles.....
