Title: ABS and Traction Control Warning Lights and Speedo
Post by: Archus on 07 April 2008, 16:30:21

I have a 2000 2.5 v6 Elite. The ABS and Traction warning lights have started to come on constanlty whilst the ignition is on and the speedometer does not work. Use to be an intermittent fault but now a constant.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Does not seem to have an affect on the way the car handles.

Thanks all for the welcomes. Thank you Entwood for the info Im still cying at the thought of the expense as I have just had all the brakes and sensors done. So looks like its an ECU problem. Had already booked it in with Penfolds so will await confirmation. :o

Welcome to the forum.

I had the same problem with my car and lived with it for a while as the garage quoted £1200 to fix it.

I joined this forum and Entwood and others encouraged me to do the job myself. Using a S/H unit I did the job for a fraction of the price. Very fiddly.
