ABS warning light - A4 (B6)

[Mark Rosenkrantz]

Art,

Did you open up the brake hydaulics and/or bleed them?  If not, retracting
the piston might've lodged some sediment in the ABS pump.  If you did, air
might be trapped in the ABS.

There are two brake pressure switches, one is the brake (foot pedal) switch
and if it's stuck on, so will your tail lamps be iluminated.  Also,
incorrect bulb in the rear can do that with the tail lights on (back feeding
to the brake circuit).  Grab someone to do a quick test there (brake lights
with and without headlamps).

G201 is internal in the ABS pump.  I don't know if the switch is available
or if the entire ABS pump would need replaced.  From recollection, you can
check it's readings in both the ABS and ECU measuring blocks to read the
value with the brakes applied and released.  You can also try doing a basic
setting to the ABS to recalibrate.  I'd bleed the entire system, including
ABS pump first.

A sticking component (holding back pressure) could cause this as well.  I've
seen brake lines acting as check valves, sticky master cylinders, etc.
