ABS light goes on at odd times
My ABS light will go on after about 20 minutes of driving sometimes it stays on sometimes it goes off.There is no reason for it to go on it is a perfect weather day outside.My question is this a malfunction in sensor,or module,or is this normal.Also is it a fuse possibly. Can I just disconnect the whole feature. Does this sound like a could be a fuse or probably one sensor is out.Thanks

ABS is not just for driving in snow, its useful whenever you need to stop quickly so you don't lock up your tires. I would start by changing the fuse.
The higher end obd2 scanners will be able to connect and tell you if the abs module is throwing a code, that will give you a clue as to if its is a sensor failure, a module failure, etc.
If you want to disable it completely, just pull the fuse. The ABS light will be stuck on so you'll have to disconnect that too if it annoys you.

"you will never use the feature"....
If you stomp on the brakes while traveling at a high rate of speed to stop the car you will use the feature.

This is from Canada but it pertains to all cars no matter where sold.
While it's not law, I would think you want to leave something alone that can help you avoid an accident or potentially save yours or someone else's life.
