Default ABS brake question

Hey guys I dont know if this will be an easy fix or something I will have to get checked out professionally, but my ABS light is on and the parking brake light blinks when the p-brake is down. I am fairly proficcient with cars but this is my first audi, and my first ABS issue. Has anyone had an something occur like this or similar?

I had the same thing along with 20 other people running around here.

Your ABS controller is shot. If you or a buddy can do it yourself (not too difficult), it will only cost $250 to get ti rebuilt with a 5 year warranty.

Get the codes... it might be a faulty sensor, ABS computer, or in my case (The ABS light and BRAKE light would go on after a few miles of driving, not blinking) a cracked ABS tone ring (the worst case scenario)

a cracked ABS tone ring would be the best case. . .the ABS sensor is atleast 150$, the control module is like 700$ atleast if you want a new one or 250$ to repair yours, whereas the ring would be like 20$ and some installation time if you want to do it yourself.
