On hard left turns the parking brake light comes on.

also this morning after i disengaged the parking brake the light still remained on .

Therefore causing the ABS to disable.

Is the parking brake in need of a adjustment?

or would it be the switch that tells if its up or not?

 

I'd first check that you've not run out of brake fluid. I believe the fluid level sensor shares that indicator.
The parking brake reminder function does nothing more than indicate that the control handle hasn't returned to the released position. I don't believe that this (in itself) would effect the ABS.

Ok I'll check the brake fluid when i get home from work.

but i did recall that to disable the ABS driving with the parking brake up would do that....i dunno where

 

def check your fluild. i don't think your abs will be disabled with the light being on, unless your low on fluid. or check for leaks as well

 

he is right your abs will not disengage unless the system itself malfunctions or your dangerously low on fluid or are leaking fluid and the pressure isn't there for it

 

It may also pay to check your brake pads if there isnt any obvious signs of a leak (low brake pads = caliper pistons out further which also equates to low fluid level)

 

it was low brake fluid. it was leaking from the ABS modulator. I had recently replaced the ABS modulator. I went in and tighten all the connsections. Hopefully this will fix it and the ABS modulator doesnt leak in the future

 

Glad we put you on the right track, but there's one other place you should check - the back of the Brake Master Cylinder, where it mounts to the brake booster.
When these start failing, they will sometimes start leaking past the rear piston / shaft seal.
It is most times apparent as a verticle path of desolved paint on the brake booster just below where the Master Cylinder mounts to it.
If this condition as apparent, it bears having it looked at. If left unattended, that leaking brake fluid will damage the Diaphram in the Booster Assembly.

Just a 'heads up'
