TomsFocus Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 This is usually a result of another fault. Either the battery is getting weak (which causes lots of odd issues) or there's an ABS sensor issue. If it's only happened once you can ignore it, if it happens again, see if any other messages or lights come up as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daves181 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi Thanks for that , Is it best to have the faults read and go from there. I have had a problem with the tyre monitors also telling me that they are not there at all,would this have anything to do with this?.

Daves181 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 I now have an airbag light on as well as the hill start assist problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Reading fault codes is never a bad idea, but in this case I think it's the battery at fault. If you have stop start, is that still working currently? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monks600 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 As Tom said, it’s pointing towards the battery. Even though the engine turns over without hesitation I started having lots of weird warning lights and really random things occurring electrical wise when my battery was on the blink. If possible, check the voltage on the battery and charge with an external charger or get the battery tested :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPW Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've had the exact same a few times, it was the battery being too low. Turned the car over for a few hours and it went away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
