Thread: ABS warning light

Hi, I have a 1997 V8 Land rover discovery. The ABS dash light comes on at start up and then goes off after I start driving. I believe this is the correct as the car needs to get to approximately 7 kph for the light to extinguish.
The problem I have is that the ABS light appears to intermittently come on while driving. It is presently coming on after driving for about a km or so and then stays on. My suspicion is that it is a dirty ABS sensor or an air gap problem with the sensor. I have also read that the ABS relay may cause some problems. Is there a way of testing the sensors? I have also read about ABS codes. How do I access these codes?

Is there an easy fix for the ABS light problem?

Any help appreciated

Thanks Joe

There's lots of info on this problem to be found on this forum. The most important bit of advise I can offer is get it fixed by someone who has the equipment to diagnose the problem and repair it. Mine was also a wheel sensor which resulted in what was essentially a temporary failure of the braking system one day.The abs can get into a state where it will not allow any braking ,not what you want at a busy intersection.
