No ABS light on console

[DarkSeat]

Hi Guys,


Please help me solve this issue.

When I start the car, i have no ABS light coming on at all and to check that the ABS is working i tried an emergency stop where the ABS did not kick in.... is this an issue with the ABS module or are one of the sensors faulty.

Thanks,

DS

I think the ABS sensors are only checked once the car is moving above 5mph - if all 4 do not read the same the fault light would come on.

It's easy enough to check the warning system - look behind one of the front or rear wheels for a wire with a connector on it.

Disconnect the sensor wire and go fo a short drive. The ABS warning light should come on above 5mph after a minute or so.

Sounds like there is a problem with the ABS controll unit on the dash, rather than a sensor problem. Has the light ever come on, or has it been like that since you got the car? Could the previous owner/dealer have cut the bulb out?
