Abs and traction light

Featured Replies

Was driving about the other night and the abs and traction lights came on the dash turned the engine off and back on and they went away but came back on again the next day they always go away for a bit when I turn the engine off and back on but there's no fault codes on it anyone had this problem before?there's no difference in performance or anything but it's just annoying me

Are you using VCDS or generic code reader?

It's probably a bad wheel speed sensor or a wrong size tyre. You can read the tyre sizes directly, but you need VCDS to make further progress.

I had these symptoms a few years ago. But I used SuperScan VS450 VAG scanner (entry level kit) and it showed as something like "implausible value". So your problem might be the same, but with incompatible scanner, else it is not that simple.

It seems most of these problems are the sensors, not the things they are meant to be sensing.

An "implausible value" error tends to be a sensor that's giving a value which is "inside programmed limits" but still seems nonsense. For example, if one wheel speed sensor shows 30mph and the other 3 show 60mph...
