It could mean that, or it could mean something else. All it means is that there's something that's not quite right with the brakes. The only time I've seen it come on was for low brake fluid, but that doesn't mean that's the problem every time. Are you noticing any unusual noises when braking or does your pedal feel mushy?

if you can lock your wheels, then the ABS isnt working properly, thats the whole point innit? anyways, i could be a faulty sensor which would shut down the ABS until the sensor is replaced.

looks like it was fluid i didnt know that because i was running the car hard the fluid would run out so fast i dont think i have a leak in there i dont even use the brake often i';m one of those drivers that would avoid the brake at all times until i have to press it but i guess since it was so much heavy braking at the track that it just sucked up the brake juice anyway
thanks for the help fellas

If you know that you're pushing your brakes to the limit, it might be a good idea to invest a little money into them. Bigger brakes and metal pads will shorten stopping distances. Stainles steel brake lines are also a way to strengthen your brakes. Keep in mind that cross-drilled and slotted brake rotors are mostly for looks, so make sure you get the best you can for your money.
