The other day I started up my 2001 SE and the ABS light went on. I drove on and then decided to pull over. I shut down the car, waited about 10 seconds and started it up again. No ABS light this time. Its still under warranty, should I be concerned? Thanks in advance.

If it continues to come on, have your cars ABS system checked by the dealer. As long as the light is off, the ABS system isn't detecting any problems.

 

Take it in immediatley, my ABS light came on and I ignored it for a week and lost my brakes. My rear drivers side ABS sensor went bad and it caused the whole brake system to fail, there is no backup.

but did the light just come on once or did it stay on? cause mine just stayed on until i shut the car down.

A-

 

What do you mean "lost my brakes" and "whole brake system to fail"?

All ABS systems I know about are REQUIRED to not disable anything in the event of a malfunction. You just don't have skid control, but everything else performs fine.

Only difference would be the ABS light flashing and no ABS to prevent skid.
