Default abs

update on my abs probs,ive checked fuses, relays,all ok,tried another reservoir cap,but abs light is still on,ive cleaned the sensors but not checked them yet with multi meter, but i was wondering would the removal of my airbag/light cause the abs light to come on? are they connected in any way with them both being safety features?

Have you driven the car to see if the ABS actually works or not?

It will most likely be one of the sensors. The air bag system is completly seperate from the ABS system

update time again, ive swapped all the sensors and made no difference, so worth checking out yours if you have similar problems

ummm...this is a big turbo right? My small turbo light has been on for about a year, all tests done...nothing. This is interesting, but the small turbo doesn't have a HT lead like your description does it...(i wish it did) then my problem could be sorted too....
