ABS Problem

Post by Ecnerual »

Hey Guys,

this is in regards to my "traction control problem"

Sorry, i was meant to say my ABS warning light (clarified by dstocks - thank you)

its number 12 on this display - http://www.redfto.co.uk/Dashlayout.html

well my light stays on when i start my car

im assuming my ABS has been turned off and is trying to warn me - does anyone know how to fix this?

More than likely a wheel sensor. I'd be downloading the service manual (in the downloads section) and going thru the ABS diagnostics, step by step.

Download all of them coz you will need to go through them in the future.
