You have my sympathy grumps. If mine did that at this moment in time it would be as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit :mad:
 
Oh well.

At least you know what to do......

Yeh, curse the 5 quid ODB2 reader for not working !

Last time it was the modulator - so got a replacement one fitted. I kept the old one though cos I read there is a 'bodge' you can do to them so they work again - something to do with routing a wire through its internals or something - I'll have to dig that out again.

Anyway - first thing is to get it down a garage to have the codes read - or invest in an i930.

Oh and apart from those couple of kind souls - bollocks to the lot of you !

Think I'll post it on the FB page for some group hugs :)
 
As I said in the last post, you are all wonderful people and before spending out having the codes read, I was thinking....

When I turn the ignition on, I get the 4 lights (ABS, TC & 2xHDC lights). One of the HDC lights goes out to leave the three lit and they stay on. This is before I move the car. Normally, I think 3 go out to leave just the ABS lit - and this goes out once up to about 5MPH.

So from this, can I safely say its not a wheel sensor/drive shaft ring - because these only are identified once the car is moving? Or is there a 'self check' on the sensors?

I can also safely say its not the brake switch - because that doesn't throw the TC light.

So by deduction - it must be the modulator?
 
Should be a self check on every start up of the abs. Obviously they all use the same components, hence all lights on together

It "could" just be a sensor, or a fuse.
You checked your brake lights yet?
 
sorry to hear you have the dreaded problem,have you checked the gravity sensor that is next to the handbrake under the centre console .
 
At 100,000 or so I had them. Buggers indeed.

t'was a ABS sensor in my case. Save strife and worry, get it hooked to a diagnosey. Easily fixed for £65 part & labour all-in.

I pray for you...
