ABS/TC Lights
« on: 25 February 2008, 15:19:29 »
You mat remember a while ago my omega would not drive without the T/C light on. On Saturday put on Tech 2 at local garage (Free b) and it came up with the sensors on the front wheels were not conected  :y(Old ones were still conected and hanging in engine bay) connected the ones on wheels and car runs fine, untill you drive away and the ABS/ T/C lights both come on. Speedo still works and so does steering car drives fine. The only thing that comes up on Tech 2 is replace unit. The lad that was doing it said that a new unit was expensive. >:( Is it possible that this unit was a replacement and not configurated? No other fault codes showing. Dont want to pay out unless I have to.

I'm guess its a post 98 car, in which case, probably is ecu fubar.

Do a search, there is a company that refurbs for £125 iirc.

How surprising. Not.  Sounds like you need to get it refurbed

The company on Ebay are very good, used them a few times and cost a ton all in with 2 year warranty.

They are not far from me!

Depends if it has a config on there.  If it is unused, it needs the config put on.  If it has a config on there, not sure if its possible to reconfigure.  Remember there are different types as well, so need to get one to match (ident code)
