weird and unusual

I have noticed that upon this "cold snap" we are experiencing in Portland OR., my three amigos have been silent. What do these frigid temperatures do to our beloved ABS system????

I have noticed the same thing with these below freezing temps in Arkansas right now. Thought it was just me....

Probably just the cold solder joints changing. I'd get them more in the cold or wet in my 03, and they come up less in the summer.

Hibernated for the winter

. Seriously, I think it's the brake fluid thickening due to the cold and less fluid 'bypass' so it doesn't register as a fault - not that the fault has disappeared.
