Hello,

If the ABS kicks in or the light flashes randomly, it could be due to an issue within the ABS system. This could be issue with the module or a sensor that is sending error signal to the module and the module triggering the ABS system.

First check to see if the ABS light is illuminated. The light gets triggered when the on-board diagnostics detects any error within the ABS system.

Scan the vehicle and retrieve the ABS code(s). As that can help with the diagnostics.

Here is a helpful video of how to scan for codes:

Have a look at this guide, it covers the common ABS issues:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
