ive got same problem......but ive never cared to pull the codes....but i heard from somewhere that it can only hold like 1 code or something, and u cant tell what sensor is sending it, so its almost impossible to pinpoint the problem w/o spending $800 for a whole new ABS unit......

i dont care cause i dont like ABS

No, ABS codes are pretty specific, they usually point you right to the problem.

It's similar. ABS should flash a code, pause shortly, then flash a sub code. Let us know what it showing.

I disconnected my ABS and the light was always on too, so if you dont care about your ABS then just pull out the bulb from the behind the gauge cluster, thats what I did.

That sounds like alot of work. Wouldn't pulling the fuse be easier?
