Default so my s2k is always locking the brakes

ive got the ABS light on and off all the time, but when i have to brake hard it locks up the brakes, there are no dtc's for it.. it has new brake oil.. so what could it be? maybe the abs pump?

brake booster or master cylinder could be bad.

Does this mean you have tried to read the code with a OBDII?

When the ABS light is on = no ABS.

Whenever I drive fast (above 220km/h.. NO!, that doesn't happen very often) I get the ABS light and only when I drive that fast.
Most likely one of the rear wheel sensors.
Right now I can't be bothered to find the problem.
Driving normal = no ABS light = ABS works.

Under what circumstance comes your ABS light on?
Is it on all the time?
Is it off after the self diagnostic time when you start the engine after a "key-out-of-ignition"?

Its always on.
