Question Abs Inop

I was just wondering if anyone else has experience what I am going threw.

For the last month or so I have noticed my abs inop light coming on. And I notice in order to get it to go away I have to shut the car off and pump the brake pedal untill it is very firm. Then start it up and drive off. I cannot pinpoint what causes it to come on. I want to say when it detects a vibration or a bump it kicks the light on.. Or other times I will apply the break and I can feel the abs kick in yet I am on dry pavement.
Even tho the light is coming on I don't notice a difference in firmness of the pedal or the way the car stops. Anyone have and idea?


Thanks

Jeff

I went to the dealer today to have the oil changed and had them scan this ****. And turned out to be the RR wheel sensor. I did check the grounds and those are all good.. Thanks for the tip ReD95LT1.
