Default abs/brake light flashing

I just finished replacing my pads and rotors, and now I have an abs light and a flashing brake light that beeps three times, and its kind of intermittent it goes on and off. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, I don't have a vag yet but I'm getting one soon. I did find out though that my sensors were very dirty, and I pulled them and cleaned them with an emrey cloth. I drove about 20 miles and the light didn't come back on. Hopefully it's fixed for now.

x2.


But if you did it while you were changing your brake pads/rotors, you may have done something to the ABS sensor. That's just a possibility though, normally if it's intermittent that means it's the control module

www.modulemasters.com to get it fixed for $250, there may be some cheaper options around, too.

heck yes to bad abs modules! I've been running mine that way for almost a year. 500 bucks for me to get it fixed I just don't care, who needs abs anyways? In your ownersbook this light is described in there some..
