Q: Abs and brake signals pops up

asked by on January 06, 2017

I drive a Toyota camry LE 2009. For about four days now I have noticed the ABS and Break signals show temporarily for abt 30seconds and goes off repeatedly whilst driving. When the signals pop up, the speedometer guage falls to 0mph while the car is moving with the brakes functioning normal. I just got ABS recalibrated but the problem still persist. What could be the problem

My car has 71240 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
