ABS sensor malfunction?

Post by Jellyson » Sun Aug 28, 2011 4:36 pm

Sometimes, when I drive on wet dirt roads, the check engine light comes on, the anti-skid brake light comes on, and the green cruise control light flashes on and off. I've been told this is due to an ABS sensor. If I'm lucky, driving on wet pavement will restore everything to normal.
Is there a way to prevent all this from happening?
Or is there a way to manually clean the ABS sensor so I can restore normal functioning?
Or is there an alternative explanation for all this?

What car mate?
My Dad has had electrical problems with his Impreza STi, turns out it was the alarm module. I would be taking it to your subaru dealer and asking them to do some tests on wich module. These new cars with soo many computers are anoying. :( . The hard part is finding out wich computer module it is but that should be all it is.
