Westonrepairs Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 So I'm driving down the road about 30mph and my power steering stopped and the.. ABS, engine management, stability control and power steering lights came on any ideas!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Checked your fusebox? Relays? Checked for any leaks? Brake fluid level? PAS fluid level? Abs sensors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Check the battery voltage with engine running, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westonrepairs Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Iv had it hooked up to a diagnostic and it came up saying it couldn't connect to abs module .. Iv checked all the fuses relays and brake fluid levels all okay ( I have a really soft brake pedal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Either you have loss of battery feed to module, or high speed can bus wiring fault or abs module had its day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westonrepairs Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 If I was to change the abs module is it a straight swap or is it more technical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It will need programming/ configuring to vehicle . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAIMAXBOYCE Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 My MK 7 58 plate Eco fiesta with 48k on clock did a similar thing . Nearly every light lit up on the dashboard . Found it to be the EMU unit. I managed to get a matching one off a Spares dealer off eBay . when it was fitted we found it had to be reprogrammed. A Diagnostic bloke couldn't do it on the car. My mechanic sent both the original knackered EMU unit and the new bought one and was sent to a Specialist in Bristol who made a good unit from both. Car seems to be ok except there is a problem which now shows ABS anti skid light on dash and slows the car down to about 10mph when going around some tight Left hand bend. So needs a little bit of looking at again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
