<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">There is a posibility that one of the tires is low -- the ABS system could be telling the computer that one tire is spining faster than the others, and thus throwing a code. Not likley - but it could happen.

Post in the reginal forum, and see if anyone in your area has a OBD-II scanner than you could use to pull the CEL code.
