Hi guys

If any one out there owns a 940GLE and have had a ABS light coming, please
share with me how to handle it. Mine just started coming and I am not quite
sure why. I understand replacing the ABS system is costly and I don't have
that kind of money.
By the way, I read my owners manual and it said that, after ABS light on,
one can still drive the car with standard braking system. The question is,
for how long can the vehicle drive with standard braking system? and is
ABS system repairable? Any idea or suggestion is welcome?

Get out your phillips screwdriver again and remove the underdash panel
below the steering wheel. The ABS module is all the way to the left.
Next to it there is a the surge suppression relay with a red 10A fuse
stuck in the top make sure the fuse is good and report back. Or check

In my earlier message, I forgot to mention that, in addition to ABS light
coming and staying ON, my brakes pedal do liftup sometimes when I apply
brakes. Is this a sign of a bad brakes or the brakes pulses are being
caused by ABS?
