[QUOTE="Han Azman, post: 392222, member: 18327"] Hi again Serjit, As per Vince's post, the most likely problem would be the ABS sensor cable. I had the same problems before. The cable (any ONE cable) will become brittle after a while and will result in : 1. ABS light coming on 2. a couple of seconds of shuddering/buzzing sound of the brakes 3. momentary feeling of 'spongy' brakes when depressing the pedal. The drive after that seem normal except for the ABS dash light illuminated. Starting the car the next day, all normal, no ABS lights. The ABS light may also come on when driving in very heavy rain/ very wet roads and the same symptoms as above appear due to short circuit as the protective sleeve of the cable have come apart. Changing the worn cable cured all my problems. Hope this helps. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
