    Default Anti lock

    I just got a "anti lock" warning light. Would it cause by brake pads going
    bad?
    anyone had this problems?

    Thank you.

    I know on my '89 325iC I occasionally get the "anti lock" warning even after changing pads and rotors. When the pads were nearly gone I got a brake pad warning, different warning. Not sure why the "anti lock" warning comes on. As I understand it, the brakes still will work fine, just no "anti lock" function when warning light is on.

    may be relay or some other hard part problem, get someone to read the codes and see what's pissing it off, the system does a self diagnostic on start up and turns the light off if all's well
