Title: ABS Light
Post by Zcorpion on Feb 12^th, 2005, 9:39am

Hi - I need some advice please.

The car starts up fine, (all warning lights off) but about 10 seconds after moving off the ABS light comes on. I stop turn off the engine and re-start - all is OK. This is bugging me, any thoughts please?

have you tried removing the sensors from the wheels,cleaning them out,and re-fitting them ?

have a read of abs repairs (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/abssystem.htm)

hi Zcorpion ... the symptom you describe usually means that the sensors are ok ..they are completing their initial test sequence and doing what they should .. the fact the light then appears again is probably down to bad connection at the first connector under the wheel arch ..undo ..clean ..and water repellant grease ... Snoopy will give you accurate details should you require more info ... hth ... STN
