Problem with battery and ABS

[Shadow_Mx-3]

I had a problem with my car today.<P>When i stopped to wait for my g/f to come out of work the battry icon lit up in my dashboard.<P>Also the ABS light lit up at the same time and was flashing.<P>It was doing this only when i completely stopped for a couple of seconds.<P>As soon as i started to drive again it went away and came back only when i stopped.<P>Anyone have ideas what it could be ?<P>Thanks.

First guess would be the alternator, or more specifically - the voltage regulator inside the alternator. When you´re moving, and the engine´s at higher rev´s, your alternator is putting out enought to power the electronics (ie abs), but at idle, it´s not. My guess would be that within a day or two your battery will be dead enough to where you won´t be able to start the engine. You should be able to take it in to any big-name battery place and they´ll test your battery/alternator for free (At least I see that a lot of places offer that (NTB, etc...)<BR>Again, this is just a guess, ´cause without being there to take some measurements, it´s hard to say
