Russ Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Could be down to a problem with the sensor at one of the wheels. I'm assuming the ABS/traction control and ESP all work off the same sensor. Checking back online for my old MOT's I found one from before I owned our focus with the same felt and it is marked down as having the sensor at the wheel changed.

mockneyferguson Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Your find its the abs pump internal pressure sensor has failed. If you get the codes red your more than likely have c1288. Pumps are about £150 now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
