Title: ABS/ECU
Post by: OmegaGav on 06 May 2011, 12:23:56
I currently have an intermittent ABS/TC failure which is staying at the same level of intermittent-ness ::)
Before i start removing the skin from my knuckles getting the main unit out is it possible there could be a fault with one of the ABS sensors/wires on one of the wheels ?
It seems that the ABS/TC lights are off when the car is cold but after 10-15 mins of driving they come on and the speedo fails, also the power steering dosent always go heavy and the speedo needle blips from time to time  :-? :-?

If the speedo fails at the same time then its the ABS/TC ECU... :-[

Classic ABS ECU failure symptoms. Mine did that to start with before being on all the time.

You can get a S/H one for not much money but in my experience they fail fairly quickly (all about the same age now). For about £125 you can get yours reconditioned via BBA Reman darn Sarf or ECUtesting in Nottingham. Turnaround is pretty quick.  :y

Was clutching at straws whilst holding my wallet in the other hand  :-[ :-/ ::) so sending the ECU off for reconditioning is the way forward..............Bugger   :o
