Stop Brake Fault Service Manual

[fireski]

The above message appears on my 2002 115psi Ghia, sometimes as soon as I turn igniiton on; alternatively when I start engine. The brakes work fine. When I consult the handbook & FSE disc no detail is given.

 

All pads & discs are in good condition, being changed earlier this year. Fluid level is okay. I have had wheels off and visually checked all brake components. Nothing is obviously wrong. (I re-bled front brakes just to be doubly sure, but there was no air. When I changed pads 3 months & 2,000 miles ago, I clamped hose and released bleed nipples).

 

Any suggestions as to what is giving rise to warning?!

[Guest wolfie]

are the connections to the pad sensors Ok? does it do it more when the pads are wet/damp? it could be a bad sensor in the pad shorting out? or moisture in the connectors?

failing that get it hooked to the diagnostic machine and see what that says?

the only time I've had this message was after braking sharply - never had it since & no problems with the brakes, don't get any pad warnings either

Thanks for suggestions. Warning message has now stopped of it's own accord after giving brakes/ABS a few hard tests! I would still be interested to learn of what sensor(s) give rise to such a warning. (I surmise that it shouldn't be anything to do with pads as that is a separate pictogram warning that didn't appear). :lol:
