Default abs light came on for a few & car started losing power...

my abs light came on and blinked for a few and went away, everytime the ticking occured the battery seemed to die slowly the ticking also went away after a few times, and you hear the car sound like its about to shut off ( small rumble like when u shut down ur car )... i havent changed my brakes for a few and i was thinking is that the problem? i keep my fluid up to mark, so i was wondering what could be the problem, cause i know abs light dont drain the battery like that out of a car.... any opinions welcomed, thanks.

Might be the alternator,battery related possibly but your car didn't completely die. Usually ABS light then all lights follow and all power is lost.Or if the battery cabling is slightly lose or rust. The ABS light will not effect the car in such a way to nearly shut down any car.Did the car throw any codes? I would have the ecu checked for any codes.And easily check the battery cables clean/tighten etc.

i dont have the tools to check the coding on the ecu, i usually use the accord for everyday use so any help possible would be great, and yea my thoughts exactly with the abs light almost killing a car, thats nearly impossible... so far these past 2 days its been running ok again, abs never came on... so i wonder what could have been the problem...
