So my e brake light and abs light decide to come on out of no where not sure what the problem or cause is anyone on here have this problem or heard of it because i have no clue i was thinking maybe it trying to tell me i need to change my rear pads because they are getting low but my front pads are fine. I know the car has that automatic brake distribution but im stumped on this one any help would be appreciated. Also when you turn the car off and back on it resets it self and goes off but then a short time later it will come back on. Other than that would anyone no why i have gone through to manifold gaskets in less than a year mine just blew again on the right corner it sounds like

I have this problem also... it shows up for a short while. The speedo goes dead. It resets and then all is fine. I talked with the local mazda dealer and they stated that most likely I have a faulty ABS sensor. He wanted 109 to diagnose it and then 200 for the part.
He said that when these lights are on the abs will not work on the car. I took it out to a dead road and got up to about 40km and hit the breaks hard. Sure enough she locked right up... and the lights came off. But they still pop on every once in a while.
Is there a way to check myself to see which sensor would be faulty?
thanks everyone.
And my apologies to the o.p. regarding hijacking your thread.

Ok, I had this same issue after doing a rear motor mount on my car. It seems that the plug for the ABS computer is directly below the battery. The plug is held on with a grey clip that is supposed to lock the plug into the ABS ECU. I had to use a zip-tie around the ABS ECU and harness. There are some ways to get the error codes from the ABS ECU in the service manual.

Will have to look at that.
My ABS light comes on about twice a week. I can turn the car off and back on and it goes off. Loose wire?
Found my problem. I had recently removed my front struts to replace the strut bearing and strut. The brace that goes across the back to the strut holds the ABS wire. When I was putting the strut back in it got hung up on the brace and bent it all to hell. At the time I didn't notice, after the ABS light came on here and there I pulled the wheel and saw the mangled brace. I removed the brace and inspected the wire. It was split. I spliced in a new wire to lengthen the split and everything is good to go.
Have you had your struts replaced recently?

mine went off after i refilled up the brake fluid res., check that first, that mostly like problem, and the easiest fix too!
If thats the case it means ur pads are worn because they are using more fluid
