ABS Warning light

[st3ph3n]

Quick question before I go and start checking fuses and what not then heading to the dealers, but is the ECUTEK setup to flash warnings on other dash lights because my ABS one came on this morning. I wasn't under braking or anything, just gave it a bit of beans in 4th gear on the motorway and on it came.

1 reason I have seen it come on is if the sensor on the wheels gets crap on it and cant register if the wheel is moving or not.

Well .... thoroughly bizarre happenings. Light came on eastbound on the M8 earlier on. Just round that nice left hander after the bar-l.

Headed out tonight down to Peter's for dinner and the light was off, but came back on again .... at the tasty right hander just before the bar-l, which is obviously the same corner as earlier, but in reverse.

Went for a blast with a couple of people after dinner then headed home and the light stayed off the whole way.

Can't really think of anything "new" that would be throwing it up. The EBC discs and pads combo certainly needs warming up more than the standard discs and ebc pads combo did. Peter commented on the judder on one BIIIIIG slow down, but on the way home I had a couple of ones that were heavier and everything was smooth again once things were warmed up.

Have you just had the brakes changed? as it definately seems intermittent like a speed sensor fault or something loose and when your turning with a bit of force its coming loose and causing the fault. I'd jack the car up take the wheels off and check the abs sensors are connected tight and are clean.

As Westtra has pointed out id check the ABS sensors, one may be gubbed [] as they say.
