Had the ABS lamp come on months ago. It was always accompanied by the memory in the computer wiping out. Took it to an indie and they told be about the codes and the expensive repairs.

Did not get it fixed. In the meantime, the ABS light stopped coming on and it sure felt like the car still had ABS and DSC functional. After about 6 months, the ABS light comes on again. This time I pay attention to what accessories were operating at the time. The ABS lamp only comes on when starting the car, and only when the A/C is left on. Same happens when I leave the iPod plugged in.

If I start the car with those accessories off, all seems to be okay. I'm going on the theory this is an errant electronic signal that may be setting the code until I prove it otherwise.
