Suspected ABS Unit faulty?

[daveplyjeep]

Hi All.

Could anyone tell me.

Are the ABS units prone to packing up on this model.

Thanks in advance for all info received

Not read of any issues on this forum in 4yrs.

What issue do you have?

Hi Mark.
Sorry for not getting back before.

Driving along all good under normal braking. If you brake a bit harder say at a junction.
First the ESP and the ABS lights come on then the Amber handbrake light. The first 2 lights stay on and the Handbrake light will come on with alarm at 15 mph each time.

Stop and restart and all good until you start above again.
Fault codes indicate wiring or abs unit.

My thinking is. If it was wiring it would happen no matter how you braked

I have changed speed sensors. rear pads and checked an old wiring fault on handbrake. Also done basic settings reset and function reset.

Regards

have you read the fault code?

You need this before you waste anymore money.

Hi.
Could someone please tell me how to clear the DTCs supported codes in the "Control Head" and the ABS controller.

When I run a scan I am told to "Please check DTC Memory of ABS Controller"

Check it then. Go into that module and read codes then clear. Sometimes you have to clear each module individually.

Hi.

That's the problem I'm having. I have 34 DTCs stored ,tried to deleat one at a time but won't let me.

Try the Hidden Menu

In car then qualified DTC's and then look for the ABS module and the Control head and then clear the DTC in there.

Hi all again.

The hidden menu looked scary.

Now trying something new.

Can anyone give me a BEM code for my battery please..Its a Varta, H3 12v 100Ah 830A.

Or one that would do.

If you're changing like for like spec then a new code isn't needed.

Or have you deleted the current one/fitted a different spec battery.

In the case of mine with Gups advice I simply made one up!
