Same thing happened me last week in my hdi 90. Happened a few times in a short space of time. Its obviously a vital function for safety so I decided to bring it to main dealer who plugged her into diagnostics. Came up as normal. SPOOKY!! :shock: Hasn't happened since. To reset the ABS and the ECU. Plug out the battery for 10 mins.

One possible cause could be a flat spot on one of the tyres.

That *shouldn't* happen with ABS.

I thought that, but it could still happen (and if it is, it'll be the cheapest fix)
