ABS light/alarm keeps coming on

Hi all
Does anyone else have a problem with an over sensitive ABS Alarm going off in their A2?
I have been to see Tony at A2 for Cruise control and new Anti-Roll Bar fitted. On both occasions he has run a diagnostic test on it and on both occasions it has come back as fine and dandy. But, the alarm comes on intermittently during a drive.
What's happening and what would folk suggest I do. Is it an over sensitive sensor or something else?
Any help would be great.
Cheers
 
Have you checked the wheel bearings ?

Excessive play in these can mean that the ABS rings can move away from the sensors? On some occasions when cornering hard perhaps, it could therefore trigger the ABS warning.

Hi Steve B
I haven't personally but I did have the car check two weeks ago and had the brakes, wheels etc... Checked and all came out good. I also and a new anti roll bar fitted.
I guess if it keeps happening I'll have Tony at A2 Cars check it out and mention what you have suggested. It's weird because it can suddenly happen even on a straight road?!! It's also damn annoying.
Thanks for the advice though.
