Have your brake wear sensors checked or changed. If this does not solve the issue, then you might have a problem with your ABS ECU.

First point of call would be to try to clean the brake wear sensor and see if it cures the problem 

By the way, Hello and welcome to the Forum. Pop in to the Newbies section and say Hi

Sod all to do with wear sensors. More like your suggestion of ABS ECU, which is a common issue with 98 onward cars

Was just a suggestion as this would be cheaper than having the ABS ECU replaced or sent for reman

Lots of things would be cheaper than sending it to BBA repair ... but would they be relevant to the ABS ECU?

You're right Andy, wouldn't be relevant. We'll stick to the culprit being the ABS ECU then

Agreed likely nackered abs ecu.  Either replace with good 2nd hand one (~ £45 -£55 from a breaker on here) preferably from exact year/model as yours (no Tech2 work needed then) or send yours off to say BBA for repair (~£130 )

You will probably find your speedo will also pack up, no cruise control and you will lose some power assistance on the steering.

Bu**er of a job to swap - limited space and can't see 3 of the 6 fixing bolts!!


Nothing to do with brake wear sensors - they just sense lack of brake pad thickness!!
