Default Warning lights on 3 door

Hi dudes,

A mate of mine has just picked up a lovely 3 door, but it has the lights illuminated for the ABS?

Is one a sensor light and one a level warning light?

My Saff only has one ABS light where this has two I am sure?!

Thanks very much

Weeksy

I am sure it will be the same as the Saph and indeed any other ABS equipped model, so just the one orange light in the center of the instrument cluster!

Usually the guilty culprit is one of the sensors, usually they just require cleaning/dirty rings will also cause the same issue.

IF the light is illuminated in conjunction with the red handbrake/low fluid level warning light (This could be the second light you are talking about?) then first check the brake fluid level is correct and if so then it could be the sensor which is faulty which you can easily test...

dirty rings is always a cause for a warning sign!

Haha,

Love it.
Both the lights are orange / green from memory, and are side by side in middle section of the dash- either side of the centre where my sapphire has the single abs light.

Thanks

Certainly dosen't sound standard to me, only green light is the the indicator one, the colour does not tally either as warning is red/orange.

The orange one in the centre usually illuminates for the reason(s) I stated above.
