Tazbandit Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 hiya folks here a question for you.drove home this morning in that rotten snow. when i was trying to park the gal in my carpark it was fun and games with wheels spinning as car went all over the place. finaly got it parked. trouble was the abs light came on and wont go out also the light next to it is on to ( the red circle with explanation mark. look in book and both lights are warning lights for brakes. my mate says its ok to drive hmmmmmmmm. i gotta go work in 30 mins and cant decide weather to risk it or go by train aaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. tried the brakes and they work even with warning lights still on. would you drive it.

littledaz Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Could be that ABS ecu has recognised "differing wheel speeds" due to the excessive wheelspin in the snow. You would need to scan the ecu to see what the fault is. As far as driving it, that's your call but, you will probably find the brakes are OK just no ABS intervention. Quote
Tazbandit Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Posted February 8, 2007 cheers for fast reply littledaz.just took car for trip around block and its just abs light on now the other ones gone out.checked other post on abs seems a mixed opinion as to weather its a good idea or not hmmmmm interesting.think i use it and just drive safely and hope for best till i can get it checked out.good job the snows cleared away here in chilly london just the morning ice to watch out for Quote
littledaz Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 ABS is useless in the snow anyhow. All it tries to do as soon as you touch the brakes is kick in. I think you will be OK but you know your own motor :ph34r: Quote
