ABS light fails MOT

(1/3) > >>

jnoshea:
I thought that as long as the breaks stopped the car properly it would pass the MOT so I didn't worry that the ABS warning light was on, after all most models on this forum probably don't have ABS. OK my fault but in case anyone else here is thinking along the same lines...best not as it's enough to fail it.

beast5680:
if the abs light is on theres a fault and the mot man has to assume its not working and fail it

Paul:
That's right it's a fail.

Leslie Henson:
The abs light should come on for a short while when you turn the ignition on, and most vehicles have a set time that the tester is supposed to check (though they rarely do). The most common reason for the abs light to remain on is dirty sensors. Jet wash them and spray with WD40. They also get contaminated with metal particles, which stick to the mildly magnetic face.


Les.

BigA:
i have the same problem, and MOT not far away (plenty more to be sorted before that) I will take a look at the sensor's, brakes seem OK otherwise, other than when i first start her up, seem to take a few seconds to want to play ???
