I suspect bad Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch. Check & replace if necessary the brake pedal position switch placed above pedals on the support.

brake light flashes - abs - tdisline_516.jpg

The best idea is to access the ABS ECU (Electronic Control Unit) using diagnostic equipment (VAS, VAG-Com, or similar) connected to the data link connector of the car, in order to pull out all DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Code) memored. Then you will be able to replace bad pieces (e.g.: brake pedal switch, front right wheel abs sensor interrupted, ...). After bad pieces replacement you will be able to erase all faults memored by ABS ECU, in other words reset the ABS system and turn off the warning lamp on dashboard.
Good Luck!

2004 acura tl 6speed standard. VSA light/triangle light/parking brake light come on.

your vsa is vehicle stability assist that works with the abs system, verify brake calipers for proper functioning, sounds like breaks stick and cant return efficiently after breaking, vsa is a traction control light, if both lights remain on without flashing, those systems are disabled due to a problem, scan vehicle for possible abs sensor malfunction

The ABS light is illuminated. The Word Brake is flashing. There is a Indicator light that is a Circle with a triangle inside lit but not flashing. I drive around for my job and these usually come on later...

If the weight was on the back side of the wheel it's possible that it knocked a wheel sensor for the ABS system. It could have loosened a wire connection for the sensor too.

Abs light stays on and a yellow triangle warnng light

On occasion an ABS light will come on when a brake light is out. So check your brake lights first. Your ABS light is on because there is a malfunction in the ABS system. Is your brake warning light and your ABS warning light both on? This would be an indicator of a major malfunction in the ABS system. Stop driving the vehicle and fix this immemorially. If only your ABS light warning light is on this will not effect normal braking but the ABS system is disabled while the ABS warning light is on. You still need to have it repaired but you still have brakes for the moment. Now the code for this fault will be stored inside the ABS memory module. So you pinpoint this with scanner. Hope this helps

I have a BMW 1999 wagon with 64,000 mi . It runs great and I feel no apparent break problems. But... the ABS break light comes on with the triangle (caution) with the circle arrow with the exclamation...

The ABS brake light will go on whenever it doesn't see a signal coming from the wheel speed sensor on any of the 4 wheels.

May need to have it scanned for ABS Brake codes to determine which wheel is affected.
