Also, when it is on you have NO ABS ??
Can you "qualify" as to what "fine" is? Is your battery voltage below 11.89 volts, too or does it remain above 12 volts? Knowing better what you mean by "fine" would be helpful in disqualifying low battery voltage as the culprit.

I believe I've read that some who have had this light illuminated and the steering angle sensor was causing the fault...some have turned the steering wheel from lock to lock (turn all the way counter clockwise, then all the way clockwise) and have gotten the light to go off.

But this is only if there's nothing critically wrong with the system other than a small electrical gremlin.
