Mat. 6:33 "Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God and All these things Shall Be Added to You!!!

Quite normal. The "Reporting System" must register a certain amount of failures before a "Code" is "Registered". What code is it throwing? Auto Zone, Schucke, Cragen,Orielly,Checker will "Pull" the "Codes for U if U don't have a reader. There are "Sensors" in the Wheels that often go bad for numerous reasons that will not effect Ur "Stopping Power", but until U "Pull the Codes" U won't know. By All Means, if it doesn't "Stop" right or "Feel" right, Park it!   John

The problem is that you don't need to worry about an ABS failure until you have to make an emergency stop to prevent an accident. I would pull the trouble codes to locate the area of the problem. Then have a certified brake specialist evaluate the problem and recommend the repair
