ABS Problems??

I was driving home from an oil change yesteday, and i noticed my ABS and tire lights were on. so i got home, reset all the tire pressures and the lights all went off...

now, i get in my car to go to work today and i hear a cligking noise that sounlds like the clicking tha parking brake makes when pulled, but repeatedly

something like...

click,click,click.....click,click,click,click,clic k........ (sounds like a branch is smaking up agains the spokes kinda)

and it will do that with the speed increacing and decreacing. now i'm starting to notice the ABS seems to be engaging with the slightest touch of the pedal....even on a regular stop, it starts pulsing faintly. i talked with Classic, i'm bringing it in on monday to have it looked at, but has anyone else encountered this problem before??

Check your tire pressure with a guage and inspect your tires. You may have picked up a bolt or some such and the run flats are getting you by.

Resetting the pressure monitor may have told it that the current pressure is OK and you are running on one that is out of air.

all the pressure is ok and exactly 35 PSI. i noticed after driving for a while, its slowly getting loarger and larger increments to the pint i didnt even notice it on the way home. i'm thinking the computer was confused for a litle while and now its going back to what it was doing before the pressures had changed.

I'm still gonna take it into classic just to be safe.
