Intermittently ABS light comes on and stays on - at times for minutes, other times hours, even days; then goes off. At times it goes off with intervention as described below; other times by itself. At times the ABS light turns on just prior to braking at low speeds/coasting; other times immediately after braking, sometimes along with a noise and brake pedal sinks slightly under my foot prior to brake being applied. Other times the light comes on while driving on the expressway or city streets. Since 12/2006 have taken to dealer numerous occasions and 2 other repair facilities with ABS light on, diagnostics always show code 00283, left front speed sensor malfunction, and sensor replaced numerous times. ABS control module replaced 6/2009 at suggestion of dealer (requested old part and in my possession) to remedy problem, but ABS light has come on again twice in 7/2009.
