Another ABC problem, please help

hey guys, i recently just bought a 2003 SL500 with 66k miles on it, i drove it for a month and ran beutiful, recently i was driving and the ABC light came on, ( ABC Malfuction "Drive Carefully") but then when I would turn off my car and it would go away, and it doesnt come back on for awhile, Even when the warning light comes on the car drives fine. I had it checked by a mechanic and they did the rodeo test and everything tested ok, we notice a SMALL SMALL leak in the pump, but nothing serious, not sure if its the sensor, let me know a good place i can bring it too. thanks for all your help
