Hi. When I start the car on these colder mornings the ABS light goes out but a mile down the road it starts to flash and continues all day. I dont think the ABS is working as I dont feel any vibration through the brake pedal. Any ideas?

Over Voltage Protection

I don't know how close to solution my point could be but I would check all the electrical connections in the electrics of ABS and inspect relay for dry/broken joints

OVP would be the first thing i'd check and then ABS sensors and ABS relays. Check the fuse in the top of the OVP first (OVP relay is located behind the battery has a lid ontop of it). If thats fine they you could do with getting another OVP either new one or used so you can rule it out.
