whats "anti brake"?

[tsi4ya]

i was driving back to sa from home and there was soooo much traffic out, this would have would force me to break every now and then, a lot more then i would have like to. All of a suddent this yellow light comes on that says " ANTI brake" okay am a little confussed? i have driven the car pretty ugly beforel, as much as to doing a 360 on the wet road, and this light never came on. Now that am braking just a little bit. . .it comes on? am pretty sure i dont have ABS? any takers?

Apparently you do have ABS. If you look down inside your left fender ahead of the front wheel, you'll see an octopus of tubing. It's the clever place they moved it all to from next to the battery on a 1G, so when you have a $500 corner-biff in a 2G, the crap that runs the ABS lets the insurance company total the car. It may be as simple as needing a full fluid flush, or a dirty sensor on a wheel.

It's possibly more than that, though. My "Anti-Lock" idiot light has been on for more than a year. When I turn on my car, it doesn't come on. It only comes on once the car has been put in gear and the clutch comes out. A trip to Mitsubishi last year gives me this answer: "You need a new ABS module." I'm thinking, okay, fine, how much? "$1350 or some outrageous number just for the part itself. Apparently some of the pins on the module where the electrical connector goes aren't functioning, so the whole thing needs to be replaced. I'll wait till I find one in a junkyard and yank it out before I spend that much at Mitsu. Or I can just live without ABS.

Hopefully it's just as Defiant said; a bad or unplugged sensor or a fluid flush. Good luck!
