ABS and E-Brake Light blinking?

[ptparker]

I was driving saturday night and I noticed my ABS light and my ebrake light flashing maybe 6 or 7 times (about 2 sec on 2 sec off). Then the ebrake light came on and stayed on until I got to a traffic light where I turned off the car and re started it. It didn't do it again until the next day. Again, I restarted the car and all was well. But neither time was there any change in how the car felt or behaved.

I checked my brake fluid, all was well.
I checked for DTC's (even though the MIL was off), and there were none.

I am calling the dealership today and they are going to tell me to take it in, which I don't really have time to do, but whatever... I was just wondering if anyone knew what was going on.

Does this car have some kind of brake wear sensor??

Unless a ABS sensor shit itself i don't know what it could be.

Dealership = good idea

if the ABS light is on that means your car has no ABS... could be a few things... might be one of the sensors or it could be one of the ring collars behind the knuckle could have broken and is not allowing the sensor to read wheel speed

as for the e-brake.. i have no clue... your not getting any DTC's since the codes are in your chassie not your body or engine computers.. and i don't think you would beable to look at the codes without a tech2 or a more readable tool

deff take it to the dealership... not having ABS is a very bad thing

This is the leading theory from the service guy at saturn of sterling

This is also what the service guy said

Thanks for your input. I am dropping it off tomorrow. I'll let you know what comes out of it

[crazybrew609]

yea us service guys think alike.. plus we know the common breaking points... anytime man

[crazybrew609]

if it's the ring gear behind the knuckle does the car make any type of "springy" sounding noise while breaking with the light on

Ok, just got a call...
Could not reproduce, no codes stored, all rings look good. car is ready for pickup.

GRRRRRR... it is so frustrating....

I am going to record it with my phone next time it happens.
