My ABS light comes on usually after driving a while. No other
indicators, brakes seem fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Have it scanned to see what the fault code is!!
More then likely an ABS wheel sensor is at fault

When the ABS light came on in my 97 Caravan ES, the code was something
about a voltage problem. There were no symptoms other than the light.
The shop that read out the code said it was the four year old battery.
I did some research on this and the dodge web forums. Replaced the
battery myself and never had another problem with the ABS light.

Thanks for the posts. Is there a site that I could go to the get
familiar with scanning the codes, what equipment I will need, where to
plug in to do it, how to decipher, etc? I have never done that and
probably should get familiar. The battery is new as it was replaced
last winter. I did see odd indicator behavior prior to replacing the
battery that the replacement took care of.
