Title: Abs esp lights
Post by: Danbear79 on September 07, 2014, 12:14:24 pm

Hi chaps. Last night as I got on the motorway, my abs epc and tyre pressure light came on. I pulled over as soon as it was safe to do so and checked my tyres. All were fine and dandy. When I turned the car back on again, all the lights were gone. I've checked that the abs and epc work and they do. Could this just be an abs sensor on its way out or should I bend over and expect it to be the abs pump? I can't get it plugged in until next week so I don't know if it has any stored faults yet. I has cleared the car an hour before hand and was thinking maybe I got some tyre dressing on something I shouldn't have?

Best bet is to get it scanned but I had this problem  last week and it was the o/s/r wheel bearing and the sensor

Cheers for the replies guys. I've done an 80 miles round trip tonight and all seems to be ok
