Have you checked you brake pads for being worn out?

Re: aztec 2003 abs light

Are you saying that the ABS applies when you are braking? If so, you have a speed sensor dropping out. When the ABS light comes on, it has set a code and disabled the ABS system. Need to see what code is setting.

You will need to either purchase a code reader for the ABS system of your vehicle, or stop by an autozone or pep boys type of parts store. Often times these places will read your codes for no charge.
