Default Help needed: Abs

I was on my way to my work the other day, taking the interstate, going in a straight line no bumps and my abs kicked on. scared the SH** out of me.... wondering if anyone know what would have caused this?

Is your steering wheel centered dead nuts? Did you have a lift installed recently or hit something?

Yeah I would still check the steering wheel for being centered. Even doing it by wol's write up it took a few times to get mine spot on. Even a little off in either direction can cause the abs to trigger. And the alignment shops don't always look to recenter the wheel.

Agree with the centering steering wheel comment. Mine was off a little to the left after lift install. I overcorrected and with the wheel a little off (~ 10 degrees) to the right the abs went nuts.
