Title: ABS ESP Tyre Pressure Lights all on.
Post by: Guy Incognito on January 03, 2013, 01:51:03 pm

My 56 plate GTI was unused over the festive period.  On my way to work last night these 3 warning lights came on.  Stopped and checked the tyres as that's the only thing I could ensure were ok, and they were.  The ABS light doesn't go out when I turn ignition on then after driving a short distance the other 2 lights come on. 
I assume the only thing I can do is get it plugged in somewhere to read the faults.
Any recommendations in the Lanarkshire/Glasgow area?

A faulty wheel speed sensor or connection?

Tyre pressure warning monitors all 4 wheels and then senses when one is rotating faster than the others (flat tyre = smaller circumference)
ABS will look to see if a wheel has locked under braking.
ESP will check for differences in wheel speed to compensate for lack of traction.

Just a thought. Try to get it plugged in:

Good luck.

Good luck.

Cheers.
Haven't had the time to get it checked.  Will update when I do.
