Title: ABS TC light on and no Speedo
Post by: rajveer.sandhu on 18 August 2011, 21:38:41: Whilst driving today the TC, ABS lights came on.
Also the Speedo dropped to zero and the Cruise Control turned off.
The trip computer went into g/h rather than m/h.

The car was still drivable and the Temp and Fuel gauges still worked.

Has this happened to anyone else?
Does anyone know what the cause maybe?

Options are - send it away to have it repaired. cost around £120 iirc. Or buy one from a car being broken. It needs to be from a 3.0 the same year as yours.If it isnt it will have to be enabled by tech2 before it will work.

Post by: Entwood on 18 August 2011, 21:42:53: Common occurence and numerous threads about it.

1. New from Vx .. around £700
2. From a breaker .. variable and may need a tech 2 session to configure
3. Repair ... around £130 by a specialist .. very few places have the facilities to rebond the failed wire. BBA-Reman did a good job on mine a few years back on the old 2.5 I had then

Job is fiddly rather than difficult .. access is the main problem.

Post by: albitz on 18 August 2011, 22:01:25: I did look into the possibility of having them rebonded where I work, as we have bonding facilities, but apparently the gel that surrounds everything in there made it a non starter.
Mr DTM did warn of that possibility.

There's an excellent "How To" here. Takes a couple of hours. The car is drivable with the ABS ECU removed while away for repair.
