Post by: landandy on May 16, 2013, 18:21:12

dont think ya can do a blink code no,first i would check all the wheel bearings,because the abs ring is in the bearing itself,the bearings are all in one unit,reason being,is if the bearing has play at all,it wont pick up a signal,just check for play by jacking it up,and shaking the wheel,other than that that is all you can do without plugging it in mate.

Traction control light will come on as it requires a wheel speed signal from the abs sensor
