ABS / Traction Control Light

[djdrastic]

Hi guys recently came back from a trip , and my ABS light started glowing orange.I could feel the ABS system kick in all the time even during light braking.The problem seemed to disappear with a restart of the car.

Has anyone had this problem before ? My car is due for service in early next week , and I'd just want to know what I might be looking costwise to fix it.


Forgot to add , Currently driving a Clio 182

did it only do it the once and has this happened several times?

Nearly always an electrical issue, not mechanical.

It'll be lighting up because of the ESP, not the ABS

 

[djdrastic]

Haven't seen it pop up again.

I'd rather have a light come on than fish my car out of the hedge.

Do they have hedges in maccys carpark ?

TBH the issue isn't a lack of ABS it's the cup owners over inflated opinon of their own skill and inability to drive according to conditions.

Very true sir! i wish i could stay out of them darn ditches.

so what do you think it is why my lights keep coming on?

 

[Christopher]

Loose connection somewhere.

could it be the abs ring? iv still got 2 months warranty on the car from the garage i bought it from so gonna take it there at weekend

ABS/Traction lights up in my experience tends to be a wheel speed sensor on the blink. Not sure if Clio's suffer particularly with it though.

Stick your head under and behind the wheels if you can and have a look at the abs rings, same thing happened with mine

was it much to replace?

I had this prob, had a cv gaitor replaced and it solved it. then traction control light would come on when i sat at about 70mph, replaced brake pedal switch, both times came to about £80 via stealers
i was under warranty, sweet.
