Another ABS issue ???

(1/3) > >>

BigA:
Well, ABS light has been on now for a while so thought i best sort it as MOT is coming up. Using the very helpful ABS Fault codes guide on here i did the check (after finally finding the diagnostic plug) and the result was 2-6.

So i need to check the Brake light switch?? where do i fond this, and how do i check it, as per the "Remedy" i am getting 2 click when i operate the pedal, and the brake lights are coming on (after fixing one that had had a problem and melted the plastic around the contacts)

Also, the test is now not showing any more errors, i.e. there is about a 7.5 second pause in the blink test, but the ABS light is still not going out when driving?

All advice welcome as usual.

Thanks.

Hi
is there an ABS reset button or like a paper clip to short the connections
or disconnect the battery
mind you i thought the system checked everytime the engine
was started for faults and if none present put the light out
it may be you have another fault not showing up
on the blink test
cheers

abs can only be turned of by computer  and the light will soon pop back up like it did on my mums :(

This doc explains how to read and clear the fault codes.  I suggest you clear all the faults, go for a drive and then check it again.

Richard,

Thanks for that a very good document, as far as i can see from your document, that is what i have done, i got the 2-6 code and there are no more codes showing. The 2-6 code is the pedal switch? this is clicking twice as stated, the fuse is OK, and i don't know how to test it further?

I have done the blink test and taken vehicle for a run, i have done this a number of times now, each time the blink test now shows no error, i.e. i get a long pause when the error blinks should show, but the ABS light still does not go out when i drive over 7 MPH?

any more advice please?
