the abs light needs to be reset via obdII, providing there is no underlying fault.

abs will not cause the brakes to lock, they will do the reverse, they will release the brakes in the event of a lock condition.

if the abs light is on, the abs system has shut down, hence the light.

this is why your brakes appear to be locking up, they are operating as unaided braking, ie the wheel will lock when sufficient pressure is applied.

although if you are braking at speed with enough force to make the abs kick in unnder normal conditions, might i suggest you reduce your speed somewhat.

ans is not a device for reducing speed in a hurry
