Hello all.

I was in Quebec last month. There was a lot of snow on the ground, and in my wheel well area. probably more than I have ever had. I stopped at a convenience store for a moment, and when I turned my car back on, the ABS and brake light remained on. I consulted the manual and feared the worst. When the snow buildup subsided a little, a few hours later when I started again, the lights were gone. Now even weeks later, they have not returned. I have my 2 year maintenance coming up in a month or so.

So the question is ... Is this something to be concerned about? what could it be?

The sensor was probably blocked by the snow. It happened to quite a lot of people a few weeks back after a big snow storm.

Its probably that simple.

ABS light coming on just means the ABS is disabled so its no big worries. If it doesn't arise again I wouldn't worry about it.
