I've got problems with both my ABS and T/C.
Since last week they have both stopped working on and off - sometimes at the same time, sometimes at different times. It seems to generally (but not always) happen after rain. I might drive for an hour or two with one or the other of the idiot lights on, then I park the car overnight and when I start it the nexrt morning both ABS and T/C are fine. Later in the day either or both lights are back on. Any ideas? Should I be taking the car to a mechanic or an auto electrician? |

Get a scan tool plugged into it and see what it tells you. If there are no error codes, I'd be looking for a loose fuse or earth connection somewhere.

Thank's JC,
I leave this stuff to people who know what they are doing. I take it an auto electrician is the person I should go to? |

I would recommend you clean the abs sensors on your wheels.They sometimes get dirty and set the light off.

Checked your tyre pressures or had new tyres fitted recently? After eliminating a tyre issue, it appears to be a wheel speed sensor issue.

It could be anything
Short or broken circuit Dirty sensor Faulty pump or solenoid Just find a mechanic with a scan tool (most have them), the computer will have logged a code that tells you exactly why it was disabled. |
