My 94 Camry V6 XLE(70K) has the ABS light on. My brakes don't squeak or feel spongy. No symptons at all. All the pads,rotors and calipers were replaced at 49K . It just went on yesterday and have only driven 15 miles to get home from work. Please advise. Thanks !

Speed sensors might need looking at?

separate part for each wheel. it picks the speed of your cv shafts and when one wheel speeds up or slows down faster than the others, it turns your abs on to keep your car going straight when braking

once you know what sensor it is, (diagnostic hook up), you can replace it yourself, the sensor would be cheaper at a wrecker if you can find one that isn't broken. they sometimes break from corrosion when being removed. as per price? you will have to shop around.
