Default Audi A6 ABS and brake light on at the same time

I have a 2000 Audi A6 2.8 and a few days ago the ABS and brake light came on at the same time. They were on for a few seconds and they went off. Ever since then they have been coming on every few days. Now I have noticed that they come on and they stay on even while driving. Does anybody know what could be causing this????????
Thanks,

Your ABS module needs to be replaced or repaired.

Google "module master ABS" and you can read about the problem.

About $180 to repair through them, others have found cheaper places.

Confirm that this is the one for your ABS module first.

I had mine repaired by them 2 years ago and is still working perfect. Car is still driveable while the module is out and being repaired.

Sometimes that happens to people who don't search the forums.
