Warning lights on

**Greyfox** · 28th December 2013, 06:23 PM

Hi guys just arrived home from playing at Newes forest and tracks, great day.

However whilst I was driving I noticed the ABS and TC lights on then latter the hand brake light on .

Turned Henry off waited a while and restarted , lights still on .

I will have a look tomorrow, but just as a heads up could it be a wire that is broken under the car or a sensor that got smashed, etc.
Any ideas what to look fo and where.

Brakes worked fine by the way.

Thanks in advance.

Likely is a sensor fault if the park brake warning is also illuminated. Have a gander under neath, you should be able to see damage pretty easily. You could also try gently pushing in the sensors, they will pop out slightly and send an excessive airgap fault during arduous use if you have any wheel bearing play or the like.

Thanks JC, I have been doing some research and it looks like the problem will be a wheel sensor or the sensor wiring, I do not have a Nancom so it will be trial and error tomorrow

The abs cable was caught in the coil spring for the right rear wheel.
One wire was cut through the other damaged.
I rejoined the cables and checked the fuses, fault lights still on ?

have you driven it and they are still on? if so you will need a test tool to clear the fault code.
