ABS light on?

unless your wheel bearing is so bad that the ABS ring on the CV joint is not lined up with the sensor...it could be metal on metal contact in the braking system. not sure how exactly it works, but i had an ABS light on once, and it went away after repairing the emergency brake.

to check all you need to do is get the real wheels off the ground, take the wheel off, remove the LOWER caliper guide pin, and rotate the caliper up and out of the way, now you can pull the rotor/drum off. if it's stuck on there, use an M8 bolt (two small holes in the drum portion of the rotor) to break it free. new shoes and spring kit is not expensive.
