I had this come up on me right before I changed the batteries. They got weak on me. I also had it come back up on me after I replaced them. The positive terminal on the drivers side came loose on me....my fault. After that it never came back. Check your batteries and your connections.

Put on the damn helmet day........
could also be loose wheel speed sensors, bad abs motor, bad wheel bearings, worn brakes.... any of those and more.
cheap check... look at the sensors, you can tell if they are loose or if the wire is corroded.
check the wheel bearing. elevate the front end off the ground, grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 oclock postions and try to rock the wheel. if there is ANY play, bearings are worn.
check the pads a rotors. check the rear wheel bearing seals. if those go bad, it can fill your e brake drums.
i think you'll need to find someone with a T2 to check the abs motor....
hom many miles?? how many on bearings, pads, rotos and such.

I'll check all of that in the morning too.
93,000..original bearings...pads have 15,000 on them...rotors turned....
No sign of wheel seals leaking. But the brakes have gotten spongy within the last few weeks.

member "heymacall" at dp put up a solution/check to that.... appearantly has to do with the metal pad catch getting rusty and seizing up, cause the pads to hang up in their slots and either drag or not apply properly. simple fix being to take off the pad clips and sand/wire brush or wheel the rust off. this should let clip slide in their slot a little better and not hang the pad up.
did it to mine about a month ago. made a huge difference. i'm still sqeauling cuz of cracked pads but the squeaks are gone from the clips that were all rusty....
wont hurt to check it. its a free solution to a potential problem....
