means if you slam on your breaks they will lock up the wheels/tires and not anti-lock, like they should. check both the senor and fuse. also see if it's grounded out somewhere on the rear end/axles and/or that there is not break dust that's making the ABS inoperable...

Where you on a dyno or did you do a really long burn out? One time when my car was on the dyno it came up saying abs inop. I guess it sensed the rear tires moving and the front ones not. I just drove it a little and it went right off.

Check the relays! My Z had that problem too!

Funny. Mine is on all the time as well, but it stays on, even if i shut the car off. TCS OFF light is on all the time too, but the switch don't do jack. Good luck, personally i like the ABS off, but if the light flashes, according to the owners manual, you basically have no brakes, either the pedal will be super soft, or hard as a rock.
