the ABS light is on, on my 4x4 saph, the brakes work fine so was just wondering what checks i can do to find out what is causing it

any help would be good

cheers Matthew

check the brake fluid reservoir level

If that doesnt cure it check the abs sensors to make sure their clean, failing that cleaning the triggers for the sensors can also help as they get shitted up over the years too!!

Mine was a dry connection - the one on the chassis rail behind the turbo shield etc on the drivers side. My mates was a frayed wire on the level sensor... so it read like like not enough fluid as per Jons suggestion.

I have removed a totally split sensor off a mates car that amazingly still worked, though not when we tried to refit it unfortunately. There is a resistance check that i have heard about on here - but Jon would probably know more about that than I??

is the light on straight away or does it come on when you start moving?
straight away and its either a sensor failed, or brake fluid level. check the resistance of all the sensors with a multimeter, should be about 1k ohms.
when moving its a sensor not picking up, ie. covered in crap.

i think its on all the time, the brake fluid level is fine, but may be a dodgy wire on the top of the bottle, either that or a failed sensor

i'm a sparky at a nuclear power station so totally understand about the resistance

Clean the trigger wheels on the drive shafts, I had a bad tooth on a rear one that had somehow become damaged and it would do this from time to time, not since filing the tooth back to remove edges, it couldn't see a gap.
