There is a switch/sensor behind your brake pedal that can malfunction and cause the ABS indicator to display. However, I would suspect the codes would help you narrow it down to that point.

What codes are you getting? If you search the forums for your specific codes you should find some ideas.

This happened to my car- I replacedboth"Switches/Sensors" near the brakes with no luck.thenreplaced the Brake Module- officially the"Electronic Brake Control Module" see attached link for loaction and DIY replacement- I got mine back in one week and works great!

I'm with toolagit2qwit above. I had the same indicationsand I did the same thing they did, followed the Module Masterinstructions on the website to pull it, and sent it to Module Masters. 1 week, $237 and 3 hours of my time later (pull and reinstall) the module is back on the car (98 Audi A6 Quattro 2.8)and the ABS system is working perfectly. Apparently not all electronic repair operations/businesses are equal.
