You may just have the same problem as me. When i first start the car the alternator will not charge unless I rev the engine above 2500 rpm - i can tell when the alternator kicks in because the interior light gets much brighter. If i don't do this, my ABS light comes on (the owners manual says it will do this if there is unsufficient charge in the battery). Just my 2 cents...

my alternator is only 6 months old and i got a new battery. my car did that befor i got my battery. i killed a fuse when jump starting my car. my ABS did not come on befor this jump start.
