ive not driven the saff for six months i cant remember if the abs light goes out after the system does its check when the car is stationary or after the car has done more than five or ten miles per hour. could somone jog my memory that would be great. i have a problem for sure. thanks in advance

 

If I remember right, light comes on for up to 20 seconds whilst the system tests and pressurises. It should then go out until you reach about 20 mph unless there is a problem with a speed sensor when it will retest and come back on

 

Just messed about with mine after changing the dash and having the pump off. The light goes out as soon as the system has built up pressure.

 

thanks for the info thanks once again

 

Mine certainly doesn’t have to move up to 20mph to go out? If I ignition on mine goes out in about 5-10 seconds once it’s built up pressure

 

thanks for the reply. just to be sure your abs light goes out after the start up check stationary without moving the car. ive got issues anyway frikin thing was fine i ve done some welding on it where previous owners have crushed the jacking points or not jacking points in there case. i disconected the battery completely and put the surge protector on the leads also cant help thinking its to do with this. or maybe just coindidence i had issues years ago after welding also using the surge protector fukin thing wouldnt start properly for the first couple of times i will have to clean the usual shit if it dont cure it im wiring the abs light to the oil pressure switch i want to drive the fuking thing not ass about with it ive been doing bits and bats all winter to it its time for fun now not more bumming about thats for next winter

 

Yep if I ignition on you hear the pump going and the abs warning light is on. After 5-10 seconds the pump will stop and the light goes out.
Do you hear the pump going? Have you checked the two fuses and relays under the glove box area

 

first thing first i just looked at your resto from start to finnish fukin top quality. ive not started to investigate the abs issue yet i will listen for the pump. i didnt no anything about the relays or fuses are these in fuse box under the bonnet. do you no what colour these are i was just about to jump into the workshop manual thanks for your help

 

there under the glove box in the space under that small bit of removable carpet trim on mine. Sure there green or purple relays with 30 amp fuses if I remember right

 

thanks i will stick my head in there not my fave place to be playing the amount of times ive had that lot out last year i had ecu probs. it just might be that ive done a fair old bit of grinding underneath near the back of the front wheels

 

Hopefully it’s a simple fix
