Abs and ESP light come on

Featured Replies

Abs and ESP light come on not all time, this video below for VW car but same problem with my care.

my car Fabia 2009  combi 1.6

Need the fault codes reading.

and in the description for the video it says... 

 

"The problem in this case was a faulty signal wire from the ABS ECU to the wheel speed sensor. It had gotten snagged when I hit a pot hole. All fixed now :)"

If it's the same as in the video.. could it not be the same problem? 

 

You seem to type good enough English. Would you prefer it if i got my answer translated to Arabic? :D 

check brake light bulbs and brake light switch before spending big money! I had diagnostic for similar problem, then new switch and bulbs, cost £120 for a fivers worth of bulbs and £17 worth of switch!

That would normally bring on the coil light not the ABS light.

thank you for replay  :clap: , Away from the video above, explain the problem in detail, In the first time ABS & ESP light come on the high way then disappeared, after two day, before ABS ESP light come on the speedometer sensor rise and fall when the car is started on, Every other day this problem appears with the speedometer and the problem disappears when exit key from the car several times

I've had similar on an 05 polo, but it only pulled one light?

i give up then :D 

Have you changed both rear sensors if the technician said that's what the fault codes are telling him?

 

The ABS and ESP both use the same sensor/ABS ring on the wheel hub for them to work, so if you have a sensor go down/break go faulty it will throw up a fault light for one or both functions.

I felt really worried when speedometer sensor rise and fall when the car is started on then appear light on dashboard

The speedo sweep is normal, the on board computer then does a diagnostic check of all systems which is when it picks up the faulty ABS/ESP sensor.

I had this. Mine was fuses.

try it not responding  the light not come on dashboard  from 2 dayes ago

this video to my car While the problem occurs , Today in night diagnostic check VAg cable 

Replace the sensors.

 

The car picks its speed up from the ABS sensors. 

If these are faulty and giving incorrect readings, it will give you the symptoms you've described.

 

After so many faulty readings, the car gives up and turns the ABS off.

 

I assume when the light is brought up, the speedometer behaves as normal? 

 

I had the same problem on my Octavia. I assume when one sensor has given X many faulty readings, the car ignores that one for the speed display.

 Diagnostic Scan VAg cable found this error

00290 -  ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Front Left (G47): Electrical Fault in Circuit

The wheel is decoded and found peeling on sensor speed cable, Wire is wrapped and clear the error from vag, It was noted another error but not remember (GearBox), The technicianٍ said that this error (GearBox) appears with the speed sensors error and I said  come to me after two days later to make sure that the errors dont come on again

That would normally bring on the coil light not the ABS light.

I had the ESP light come on and it was due to faulty brake light switch. Also blown brake light bulb which they said OFTEN causes ESP light to illuminate. ESP, After all, relates to the braking system along with ABS and traction control.
