abs light stuck on

[Mylo]

quick question.

After sever hours driving in the snow and then eventually getting stuck my ABS light is stuck on.

Is this just because of the amount of snow and ice or car wheel spinning for ages cause a problem.
Temperatures are still way below zero so the car is not moving again until it has to

My bet is MAF sensor or ABS sensor

Do you mean the orange TCS light or the red (!) brake light?

 

[D.K]

It could be where the wheels were spining.
When thay come off the rollong roads the ABS light come's up because the front wheels have been moving and the rears have'nt

 

[Mylo]

the yellow abs one Marty. The one that usually comes on when you kill the MAF as Adam notes

Think it may just be ice though as it only came on when we got stuck and wheel spun sideways down a wee slope

Good point Daz, had forgotten about that

 

[D.K]

Drive it up the road a bit then turn it off and back on it should go if the wheel's spining caused it

 

[EmDee]

Oh okay, I thought that was called the TCS light

Yeah I reckon it'll disappear after a while, or you might have to clear the fault code?

I wouldn't worry about it, my dash is looking pretty christmassy right now too

If it is that then it should reset its self and go off once you go over 10mph (or something like that).

It happened to me last nigth when i was trying to reverse onto drive!

Turn car off then back on, and drive forward, only a matter of few feet before it goes off!

 

[Mylo]

thanks guys, will be firing the car up tomorrow for the journey home

 

[Mylo]

all fixed As predicted the light went out as soon as we hit the main road.
