Default Can you turn off the ABS sensor light?

Any way to stop it appearing in my dash as it's stuck on .... ABS still works fine.

Cheers

Only way is to take out the bulb i think use the connectors under the dash to do a reset see if that clears it ?

For the ABS light to light up on such a new car (06 STi?) shouldn't be dismissed lightly.
The bulb has come on for a reason, but its not a major issue that has switched off the ABS.
Can't do a reset on newage cars with the connectors under the dash.
Got access to someone who can read fault codes?

Butty. Don't want to start a new thread here but my 06sti OBD light has come on about 5 times now over the last few weeks but extinguishes after 3-4 re starts. Comes on after a very slight hesitation/almost like a tiny fuel feed starvation prob for a split second during hard acceleration in 5th/6th. Doesn't happen all the time but I'm kind of "looking out for it" to occur. Spoke to my local Scooby tech boys who said not to worry about it but they'd plug it in to read the fault. Runs fine just after but it really worried me the 1st time it appeared. Not had time to get fault code read yet. Was going to have a word with mapper of the car to enquire as to what may be the cause.

Was it mapped earlier in the year and is now having problems in colder weather?
Got a boost gauge to see what the pressure is when this happens?
If so then its likely to be a slight overboost and can be solved with a slight map adjustment by the mapper.
