    2001 GT: ABS & Brake Light on?

    Bought a used 2001 Protege GT a month or so ago and all was good until today when I tried to pull out of a gas station and the ABS + Brake dash light came on all of a sudden.

    The lights go aff again for a few seconds when I shut off/re-start, but they come right back on shortly after I get going. Physically, I can feel some weird resistance in the pedal when the lights trip, I'd imagine that would be the ABS system fouling up a little bit.

    I checked the brake fluid reservoir level - it looks good - and the 60A fuse (ABS) under the hood also seems to be OK. I am suspecting a sensor or system moreso than a fuse since the ABS system is in-and-out, not just gone altogether.

    Any ideas?

      I could see that explaining the brake light, but not the ABS light.

        Unfortunately there isn't a Mazda dealer handy, so I'll have to try and diagnose it myself. I'd say it's a an ABS sensor in the caliper, but I don't have a Service Manual or anything on the car as of yet so that may be a bit tough. Is there a D/L'able copy anywhere on this forum? Maybe a link?
