Faulty ABS

[Mike_Buckham at ptk.pioneer.co.uk]

Thanks for the reply, Paul. But I don't believe that this is the problem
because the light is on even before the car starts moving. I would have
thought that as long as the resistences of the wheel sensors are correct,
the control unit would not detect a problem with them unless the car
started moving. Perhaps I am wrong? I'm concerned that it may be the
control unit itself which is faulty. That sounds expensive!

Cheers, Mike.

Mike,
This may be a some wasted 04 euro cents but did you check
the abs sensors if they were dirty?

I have had several issues where if they are dirty up front
where the actuall sensor is located then it does not pick
up the signal from the hub spines and gives the signal to
the control unit that one wheel is "maybe" blocked..thus
the computer brings the whole unit off-line..due to "a
problem"

I found this out by mistake once...everytime this happens
now to myself or friends we do the same and ..walllaaa.
problem fixed.
