Title: 3 warning lights
Post by: DDM on July 21, 2014, 09:17:58 pm

This evening our golf displayed 3 lights on the dash, one was abs, another was esp and the last was tps, this happened whilst the wife was driving so she pulled up and rang me to see if it was safe to drive, being unsure I just recovered it myself and swapped cars with her and drove it myself, lights remained light up till I reversed on the driveway then all went out,my first thought was the abs unit gone again as this went about 2 yrs ago but then it only illuminated the esp light and disabled the use of the button, so plugged it in and nothing, no codes stored and nothing pending. Any ideas?

ABS sensor fault at a guess. Those three functions are driven off the abs sensors so something stuck in front of an ABS sensor would show a fault.  :happy2:

That's what I was thinking mate, is it only the rear hubs that have the abs rings on?
