probably something electronic. Could be a bad sensor, a sensor ring (on the hubs) bad wiring, even a burned out fuse..

Moving this to braking.

I have same problem.
Sometimes ABS light turns on and when I turn ignition off and then start the engine it will be ok.
I have problem with rear sensors, I think they are dirty or something with wiring.

in summer I checked ABS error codes:
34 - rear right sensor airgap.
73 - rear left exciter wheel speed.

What is exciter wheel speed?

Mad-Machine is right on this one... I agree 100%. If you reset the ECU does it go away? On my Mom's Forester if you hit the brakes hard the ABS light will come on. I drove it home and reset and the brakes were fine, ABS worked.

Tried re-seting...
Nope, still on..... What can i Do?

In Israel, they charge about 50$ (!) to just check what codes the ECU is having.....
50!!!! just for plugging that little diagnostic device!!!!!


HELPPPPPPPPP!

oh yes,
Didn't check the fuse issue . will do.

I thoght it would be ABS lamp in the gauge cluster flashing. But on my 1997 Korean RD it wasn't.

So took 2 wires 1 LED and connected it to the same pin as in webtech, like this:

+ data connector pin(under dash) - wire - LED - wire - ground.

and it flashes.

But I didn't find that error number in code list.
