Evening all, I tried to run my ST 225 on some rollers at Santa pod today but experienced probs with the abs cutting in and killing the power! I tried turning off traction control and also removing abs fuses but all this did was cause starting problems.
Can anyone tell me how to get round this?
Cheers

 

Anyone?

 

you will need to get it plugged in and see what the abs/esp module is saying. Then you will know where to start.

 

starting problems sounds odd???

can you try to explain a little more ?

 

Cheers for replies. First attempt on dyno was with tc turned off when that didn't work they tried pulling the abs fuses still with no luck. After this I went round site and spoke to a chap on a rs owners stand who said he had seen this before on a dyno day and to sort it I needed to pull the three fuses and go for a drive as this tricks the ecu into turning off abs! It didn't all it did was (with three fuses out) kill all power to ignition system, (with two out) restore power to dash but would not turn over. All three in car works fine. Cheers for your help.

 

i had to have my focus diagnosed by 3 mechanics before the third on actually bothered to jACK up the car and spin wheels to properly diagnose (similar abs problem) - my point even if you plug it in doesent always properly diagnosed fault...track back your steps of any repairs that were undertaken ie ...did u change sensors? etc etc...

 

like said, could be a faulty ABS sensor.

have you had your tyres changed recently too ? its been mentioned on other forums that having a tyre/tyres changed can cause it to throw a wobbly.

is there anything that comes up on the dash to state there is an issue that has been logged?

the only thing i can think of with regards to removing fuses would be the KAM fuse pull method.... pull out fuse 26 for 30mins or more to reset the ecu and clear any fault codes, then pop it back in and fire her up.

do you have any issues with normal steady..lol road driving ?

 

made me do a proper lol that

 

you don't pull a fuse, it's a relay or soemthing you have to disable to run on the rollers else the esp/tc will throw a wobbly

it's under the bonnet from what i can rememeber but that probably doesn't help a lot

you will also have a light on when you put it back in again, but that normally just resets itself once you've driven it around a bit to tell the system it's working as it should be

 

Jay do I need to do anything else as we'll as pulling cam fuse? Ie take car for drive after pulling fuse to trick the ecu? Cheers

 

Last time mine was on the dyno I had to pull the abs fuse as the Tc kept kicking in But didn't have any problems. I don't mean to insult you but are you pulling the right fuse as when you pulled some you lost ignition etc so they don't sound like abs fuses. Could your manual be for a different model?

Also how may are you taking out as when I done mine I only removed 1.
