FrankyEight 10 Posted May 10, 2016 A New Problem. My ABS dash light has never worked, never flashed at start up and gone out and never illuminated at all. I took the switch out yesterday and I can see why. I have proof that the ABS sensors were done in 2012 and the ABS system itself does work, as I tried it last night. However, the bulb looks to have been tampered with, am I right? Surely a blown bulb wouldn't look anything like this. A little confused... I'm under the impression that I need this bulb to work, regardless of the system itself working, in order to pass my MOT?

Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 10, 2016 Yep, really it should come on and then go off. Depends on your MOT tester, mine passed 9 mots with no ABS light. Decided to fix it for the 10th :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankyEight 10 Posted May 10, 2016 Good to know, thanks... The garage who looked after my old 1.8T passed it despite it being a de-cat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted May 10, 2016 Mine failed previously due to the light being off. From what I'd read previously, the lighting circuit forms an integral part of the system, so if it doesn't operate, the system won't work. It really depends on the tester, but up until about 3 years ago it wasn't a fail, just an advisory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted May 10, 2016 I soldered a new lamp in mine. Works a treat since. ...never went out! ! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
