Since I got the car these have never worked. It doesn't really bother me as I like to drive without aids. However I do like things to work if they should..
I've checked the fuse for it and that's fine. however the dash bulbs don't illuminate and pressing the TC switch does nothing. Am I right in assuming the bulbs form part of the circuit and Perhaps try replacing/inserting these first?
-
I suspect they are permentlyy on and someone has therefore removed the bulb.
I would get the car on a good code reader and work out why and fix the problem
ABS lights not working is an MOT failure :y
-
Should add, your car is the older 3 channel ABS system, which doesnt suffer the usual failure the later (98 on) systems are susceptible too

So is having no cats, But that's never been a problem ;)
iirc its only a fail if it illuminates and doesn't go out.
I'll try some bulbs anyway when i work out how to removed the clocks.
-
fair enough - tame tester..
but officially if ABS fitted (obvious) then the lights HAVE to work.
Guide in the maint section on removing clocks.

and not that it matters to you, but :

Took the clocks out, easiest one to do ever :D
put a bulb in the abs and tc slot,
Abs light comes on ans goes off, alls well
tc light nothing....
Any ideas?
-
tc light -
light should be OFF by default
going to ON when you press the TC button to disable the system
I take it you mean it wont illuminate whatever you do?
Guess you need to get it on a decent code reader that will talk to the ABS ECU to see whats up.
I reckon if it was faulty, the light should be on, so my 1st instinct is the switch may be faulty.

or the tc bulb is blown.

Tried a bulb I knew worked for certain, its supposed to illuminate when off irrc. didnt do anything at all. looked at the switch wiring seems fine and pressed it etc.

Its now becoming clearer. After some blind prick pulled out on me this morning and i had to bury my foot into the carpet the abs light came on and stayed on....
Time for a plug in. ::)

Hi all,
the auto transmission was removed by the previous owner of my car and put into a manual one. TC doesn't work , my questions are : was there any electric connection between the transmission and ABS/TC block needed to proper operation? Can I use TC with manual gearbox?

The engine, ABS and gearbox all chat to each other on a canbus. Not sure if the work you've done would stop TC working

Make your own bloody topic! >:(
plugged mine in to find the abs fault but it doesn't store anything, am i right in thinking its the old hall sensor type?

:-? huhh it was a good joke...if really that was... :y

51mon - that came across a bit strong. If it was a light hearted joke, please use a relevant smiley, as we have no body language or voice tone to go by in written text.
Locking thread. If each of you can start your own (fapad - unless yours are identical symptoms, might be better on its own thread, as advice may go down a different line, which may cause confusion :y)
