Title: ABS & TC Lights Stays on Occasionally
Post by: SnakePliskin on 01 November 2009, 18:36:18

Hello one and all

I promise once ive got MOT on my steed i shall leave you all alone with regards to problem solving lol

My pride and joy is awaiting an MOT retest once the brake lines and handbrake cable is replaced this week but i currently have one last problem to overturn

My ABS & TC Light is intermittant. It turns off once the vehicle is started and the speedo works fine as it should. Then another time she starts and the lights stay on and the speedo doesnt work

Have you got any ideas what this could be?

If for exactly same year/model Tech2 not needed (includes same gearbox), otherwise Tech2 session may be required.
