ABS warning lamp sequence check is no longer necessary and the RfR for

ABS warning lamp not following the correct sequence of operation has been

removed.

 

Does this mean now you dont need an abs light?

[Supercharged 2]

I think the ABS thing only applies to a highly modified vehicle where the system has been removed - I think if it looks like ABS is on the car and not working then it will fail.

 

The other thing is this -

 

Method of Inspection amended for purpose of clarity, to:

On petrol engine vehicles that qualify for a full catalyst emissions test, check

the presence of the catalytic converter.

Note: To ascertain whether a vehicle qualifies for a full catalyst test, use the

flow charts in Section 7.3.C disregarding the result of the Basic Emissions Test.
