Title: Mk3 Golf ABS Light 524 vag com
Post by: DMackie on 25 May 2009, 18:51

Drove to work this morning and the abs light came on just before getting to work.
Turned the car off then on again and the light went off.
However on driving home from work the light came back on and when i got home and tried what i did at work the light just stayed on.

Scanned it with vag com and the only fault code was 00524 Knock Sensor 1 -G61
Any ideas folks

Mk3 Golf 16v

just checking, you did check the abs control unit codes too right?
is it deffo the abs light and not low fluid/handbrake warning?  Best to cvheck the fluid level just in case either way. I'm not sure exactly how the abs/hbrake lights are wired up or triggered on a mk3.

scanned it with vag com and this is the only fault that came up
the abs light which is right of the steering wheel below the airbag light came on

left the car in the garage for a few hours and when i went out the light went off again
drove to work this morning and it came back on
turned the car off and on again and the light went off again, strange!

Scanned the car with vag com on the ABS section and get the code

1276 Hydraulic Pump V64

Any thoughts

Read this on a website, has anyone else had this problem and fixed it doing this?

  ABS LAMP COMES ON
MODELS AFFECTED :
Petrol engines, all - except VR6
FAULT:
ABS lamp comes on, fault code 01276.
CAUSE :
When the ABS cable loom is damp and the vehicle is operating at high engine speed leakage current of the ignition coil gets into the suppressor of the pump sensor cable.
SOLUTION:
Change the routing of the pump sensor cable. Route the ABS pump sensor cable and engine speed sensor cable away from the ignition transformer to the arch by unwrapping the engine speed sensor cable and pump sensor cable to the arch. Wrapping up the pump sensor cable without engine speed sensor.
Rerouting the engine speed sensor cable on the bulkhead. Routing the pump sensor cable and fastening it with existing cable binder to suspension strut housing.
