Abs Light And Brakes By Hand Light Are On

[Guest mobino]

I have a FORD Galaxy of 1998. It's a used car.

All ok , but i've some problems with ABS . Sometimes the light of ABS

and brake by hand lights togheter.

When happens ABS don't work (only the brakes works).

Sometimes can explain me why ??

I went at a center car for repairing and they said

to me that this lights means that the abs centraline dont'work

correctly.

They want to replace my centraline (at a high cost , about 800 euro).

You say that probably the error is caused by other problem.

Do you think that I have to change the officine ???

Hi, Enrico (Italy).

A possible culprit is one of the 4 wheel sensors or the wiring.

 

Use the search tool to look for "brake sensor" or "wheel sensor"

 

for example

check the sensor rings around each cv joint they are made of aluminium, the joints as cast and they rust causing the rings to split giving a false reading then putting light on
