Abs, skidding and tyre pressure lights on? HELP??!?

[Deleted member 106972]

Anyone on here had this same problem? I was driving the other day and all of a sudden noticed that my ABS, Skidding and tyre pressure warning lights came on, they don't come on straight away and will go off for a couple of seconds if the turn my car on and off but they do keep coming back on and staying on, any suggestion please?

You probably have either a defective abs/speed sensor or the metal ring on the hub which the sensor uses to pick up the speed of the wheel will be damaged or corroded.

I would also have it scanned on VCDS to be sure what the issue is.

Where abouts are you based

i had exactly the same fault on mine only come on after a short while or when i got above about 30mph for the first time after starting the car up iirc, changed the NSR ABS sensor and never seen them since

Is the sensor hard to change? Where abouts is it located?

It's not that difficult really, just a bit fiddly and it can be a bit hard to remove the old sensor without it snapping off and leaving part of the probe inside the pocket depending on how dirty or rusty the hub is. It's just one small bolt and a connector. I'd recommend soaking it for a while in some sort of penetrating fluid like plus gas or WD40.

I used the Carista app to find out which one was at fault. After changing it, the fault returned a few weeks later (rear nearside wheel). Turns out the metal sensor pickup ring was shot so I just replaced both hubs. No problems since.

Last time this happened, it was the passenger side wheel bearing that went. The ABS sensor is connected to it i think.

Just remember that when the lights are on, you have no ABS or traction control.
