Did you clear the 16955 when you scanned the car?

Could be the brake lights sometimes staying on when they shouldn't be, as can happen when the switch contacts get ropey.

Yes cleared all codes just about to go and have another play. Give it another scan with VCDS see if anything is lurking there. I had a thought  (yes very rare and very dangerous) I notice on my ETOS there are 2 different brake light switch part numbers according to VIN. I should imagine the garage that fitted the switch used a cheap aftermarket replacement. Now my experience working with GM cars is that they can be very picky, when using some cheap switches and sensors.

Just clutching at straws really, but I suppose I better grab the multimeter again and pretend to be Sherlock Holmes.

@fire26662 Didn't see this earlier. Genuine brake light switch only about £11 from dealers so maybe just pick one up to save too much messing about. 6Q0 945 511 according to here:

Not seeing any other options?

Good morning, sorry for the delay in replying and update. Right so far no more ABS light issue. EPC lamp went out for a day but apparently it is now back on! Not had a chance to look at the car since, so no idea what if any codes are back. Hopefully will get a chance later today or tomorrow to get to play with the darn thing and go from there. So much for retiring from this silly car bodging ooops I mean fixing game.

Thanks for this thread, there is no way I'd have diagnosed this one as being a faulty fuse.

 

I've a 2003 Fabia vRS, dropped the rear axle off to replace the bushes, battery went flat and so I removed and charged. When I refitted everything back together I got two rear sensor faults. I replaced the passenger rear wheel bearing (It was stuffed anyway) and ABS sensor and then got the additional ABS Return Flow Pump fault. Quick search, found this thread and guess what... crack in Fuse 6.

 

Replaced with a new fuse and it looks all good for the moment.

 

Thanks everyone for sharing on this thread, saved me time and money.

Thanks guys! I have a Roomster 1.6 -07 with the abs+esp+braking lights that turned on from nowhere. The mechanic checked for error codes and it was apparently the 00301. Would be quite expensive with a new abs unit så googled and found this excellent thread, a change of the 40A fuse solved the problem! As a bonus I actually noticed that the 50A steeringservo fuse right next to it looked somewhat broken (although not completely) and changed it as well, now the steering feels much smoother.
