ABS light's on... it's the EDL not the ABS... I think...

So today I started my Rado and the ABS light didn't go out.

 

Further down my road I slammed on the brakes and they didn't lock, so it's not a mechanical fault with the ABS...

 

I remembered reading that the EDL can bring on the ABS light, and noticed the car wheelspinning ridiculously easily when pulling out of junctions, yes the roads are wet cos it's been raining, but even so, I wasn't even taking the car above 1500 rpm in first and the wheels span round and round like Johnny Bollocks.

 

 

Later on, coming up to some traffic lights the car stalled (with the clutch in). When I restarted the engine, the light went out. Got to where I was going and turned the engine off. Came back after 15 minutes, started the engine, light stayed on again.

 

Could it be that (one or more of) the speed sensors have gone? Does the rain have anything to do with it... it's been raining here at least once every day for weeks now, but have not had the ABS light stay on until now.

 

 

How can I diagnose the problem, or is VAGCOM the only way?

you can check the ressistance of the abs sensors, using a multimeter on ohms.

or vagcom, sound to me like you got a s ensor down.
