Ive had a few abs faults with my 94wrx. Firstly the light was coming on now and again which was traced to a leaf in between the abs sensor and the toothed ring gear which can block the signal. Fixed easy enough but worth checking! But now my handbrake light stays on. Ive checked my fluid level and its fine but the still could be air in the system. My pads are due for a changing soon so what I but it down to is this: The abs actuator can only operate to a set pressure to release the pressure on the piston and is only designed for the piston to go out so far, so when your disc and pads are low its not opperating in its optimum designed tolerances which throws up this fault. at least I hope!!! Only time will tell but hopefully new pads and a bleed will cure it.

My ABS light comes one every nowand then, car works fine (inc the brakes) and then for no reason the dash light goes off.
I have had this for 3 years now.
I just ignore it as the car is fine.
