Default Oil change = Service ABS

I just got my oil changed and now my "Service ABS System" light is on. Any ideas?

pull the DTC codes - the ABS can be shut down for a multitude of reasons

Thanks Poolboy. I called the dealer and of course he thought I should bring it in right away. Right.......

So, I went and popped the top. Right by where you pour in the oil is a sensor and the wires were elbowed pretty tight. I pushed it in a little tighter and moved the wires where they weren't in such a bind. Then I fired up the engine and the light is out. I hope that's it. I'm Tim Allen when it comes to working on cars.

Thanks again for your help.

the stealership wants you to bring it in...charge around 80 for the diagnostic test, make you wait 2-3 hours, never apologize as to why it took them as short of time as it did for them to fix it and they charge you even more...
