Make sure your grounds and battery connections are good and clean. Make sure the battery is up to snuff. Try dsconnecting the battery and/or doing a reset.

When is it flashing and what are you doing when it takes place? Is the car moving? The question was asked about codes do you have any? Along with all of this do you know the year and model of your car? Please post it.

Default thanks for everyones help

I will clean the battery terminals.

The message comes up as soon as you start the car and stays on all the time.

I have not checked for trouble codes yet.

Reading the codes is the right thing to do. The cause could be many things from cleaning the sensors & connectors to poor connection at the ABS control. Read the codes first if you can.

how old is the battery - this fault can flag if it's not in the best shape.
