ABS interior light/sensor

[tnc85 0]

Hey dudes,

i need some advice. my interior ABS light stays on some days and other days it doesn't come on at all.

my discs have still quite alot of life in them same with the pads, what could be the reason the light is on...do i have to replace anything to reset the sensor?

any help is appreciated :)

as far as i am aware its a common fault to look out for when buying a C, the light should come on for a few seconds before starting up. Do a search as i know i've read it on the forum. Try checking the abs sensor, clean it etc

Best bet with ABS faults as always is to scan the ECU for error codes, that's going to tell you exactly what the problem is straight away, without any faffing about.

"scan ECU" - how? Is this another VAGCOM reference?

yus it is

 

or run a multi meter over the sensors and see if any of them are open circuits.

 

use the search, there are millions of threads on here about this problem :)

mine did this two weeks ago, are you windscreen wipers working & your fan? mine turned out to be a faulty relay (no.18 on a vr) but as therapor said there's loads of threads about it. could just be a faulty sensor, best bet is take it to a garage & get it plugged in!!!!!!
