keeps coming on and going off on Focus RS any ideas why?? gona book it into garage any way, but seems odd that it works sometimes and not other times could it be a dodgey sensor?

 

does it come on on right (maybe left) corners? if so its probly just low brake fluid.

 

yes its the right hand side at the bottom of the cluster, it comes on and goes off every now and again, then the brakes are really crunchy, i will check the fluid but its only just had a full ford service!!!!

 

checked fluid level, and its full so not sure could it be a sensor

 

Sorry Im being stupid, its the handbrake light that flashes when your low on fluid, my bad. probly is a sensor or maybe its a warning that your brakes are low. What does the car handbook say?

 

hand book says abs is faulty but normal brakes still work fine, im hoping its a sensor, the brakes arent low just had a service at ford n they wa at 75%

 

I had the ABS light on the odd time on my old Civic and after a while it became constant. I tried looking for a fault code using the service connector but it was showing nothing, no faulty sensors etc. I really did not want to take it to a Honda main stealer as the price of a new sensor was Ł160 each and then there was the extortionate labour charges. I searched around on the internet and found that a good way to check for sensor errors is to measure each sensor for resistance using a multi-meter. I bought a cheapo multimeter for a tenner and checked each sensor by unplugging the sensor cable block and putting the meter probes into each sensor contact. One of the rear sensors was showing zero ohms so I knew that was the faulty one, the others were around 800 front and 600 rear. You can search on the net to find out what the resistance should be for each sensor. The front ones were higher on the Civic than the rear. I got a used sensor off Ebay for Ł25 and it fixed it. I guess it's maybe different with a Ford, but the stupid price of Honda parts made me research it and fix it myself, pleased I did must of saved me best part of Ł200. Just a thought.

 

i have same prob on 57 focus tdci taken it to ford cant find owt wrong but it sounds the same dont see it come on for weeks then next time turn the key and there she is tis a strange one
