Stoney871 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 You'll probably find you need to clear the fault codes from the system. Anyone with an OBDII reader can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Any garage with a professional reader will be able to look deeper for codes. A lot of the time even when a fault is fixed the code stays resident on the system until read and cleared so warning lights and fault warnings will still show.

stef123 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Your abs will not work as there is a fault. Have you checked the connections at the sensors and under the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 i dont know anything about cars..i have to relay messages to a mate ..what ring n shaft thanks im not sure what your car has but the abs sensor will pick its signal from a ring which is fitted to the end of the driveshaft or sometimes from the wheel bearing itself. if whatever one of these your car has is damaged the ecu will throw an error up for that wheel.
