ABS
« on: 30 September 2006, 16:32:27 »
my abs light has come on intermitantly over the last month or so, it will normaly but not always go out after the engine starts up, it only comes on when letting your foot off the pedal so i think its not a sensor problem. i caught it once before switching on the ignition.
i turned the key until the lights came on the abs didnt go out so i took key out and went again till the lights came on and the abs light went out if i pressed down on the pedal but came on as soon as i lifted off the brake pedal. anyone got any ideas?

Not sure but isn't this light used for brake pad low warning as well?

I'm not an expert in this area, so don't take my word as gospel, however,

From what you've written, if it happens when letting off the pedal - it could be a sensor issue, especially if a sensor is not quite aligned right when the calipers let go.

I would take all the wheels off, one by one, and check the alignment of the ABS sensors and clean them up.

See what happens, take it from there. My money's on a sensor if it's intermittent.

Does your Meega have Traction control?

I suspect it may be ECU... :(

Reseating relays on Nixoro's ABS ECU resolved his issue...
