I had a problem where the ABS light would stay on for no apparant reason. This was an intermittant problem and it finally turned out to be due to a faulty ignition switch. Maybe you could start with an electrical check.

My daughter asked me look at her car because the brakes "sound funny".
So I drove it and putting light pressure on the brake pedal caused it to act normal. However when putting moderate to heavy pressure on the pedal the ABS system is activating and the wheels are still rolling. I'm quite sure the wheels were not skidding as it was on dry pavement and I wasn't applying enough pressure to cause that.
So I started driving the car to work today so I could monitor the brakes and from what I noticed so far, this behavior isn't constant. I applied some heavy braking this morning and the ABS didn't activate, just normal braking.
I'm defining the "ABS system activating" as what the brakes would normally do when braking on ice.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where I should start diagnosing this problem.
Thanks, Dave
