    Jeez guys, I was just about to make a thread on this. My ABS starts working again when its freeze your balls off cold, which it always is here in Minneapolis. My diagnostics and the ABS light tell me that the module needs to be replaced, but it comes alive when its really cold.

    I've been driving with the ABS on sometimes, and with it OFF sometimes and I was freaking out last night thinking one of my calipers had detached. I couldn't stop at lights without going 50ft past them, what the hell?? All the streets are snow-packed, but I never had these issues when the car warms up and the ABS light comes back on. I don't usually skid either.

    I've never owned a car with ABS before, I knew about he pulsing (which is NOISY) but not about the ****ty brake distances.

    Does anyone have a broken ABS module? I'd like to take it apart and see why mine re-activated when it gets cold, but shuts off after running the car for more than an hour (heat)

    Its 4 degrees F in minneapolis right now

    Atilla, you're seeing the same thing as many of us. Do you really wanna fix it and make sure the ABS is on all the time? One day you may end up in the middle of an intersection and get t-boned by a big rig. That would suck!

    Mine did the same exact thing when it got down into the 20's here but after the engine compartment warmed, the light came on.
