ABS LIGHT
« on: 14 January 2014, 10:13 »
ABS light seems to come on and go off, goes off when i take a right turn pretty quick, could this just be a loose wire or somthing more serious????   worried about driving it incase brakes fail.

I could be wrong here bud my first thought would be that's your brake pad sensor alerting that you brake pads are ether low or the wire is faulty

Sounds more like the speed sensor, it will be logged so get it scanned
