Warning light when cornering

[hblun]

Hi guys, my 2004 1.9 Octavia produces a warning light and three beeps when cornering. I'm thinking it's a blockage in the oil pickup. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

 

Thanks

 It's an ALH, and it's this light . Just looking now at the manual it says it's a brake fluid warning, but as far as I can see there is plenty of fluid.  on further consideration, it's more likely something to do with the abs system.

abs sensor knackered.

search for "reluctor ring" on this sub forum, theres plenty threads on it

Cheers mac11irl, i suppose if thats the case that means a new wheel bearing?

Before you go to the expense and hassle of changing wheel bearings, check your handbrake lever and handbrake switch. If it's ratting around of the switch is a bit dodgy, the forces generated while corning could be enough to activate the switch, which is also another possible cause for the warning light coming on.

Is the warning light you are getting red or yellow? - abs sensor failure will be yellow, fluid level/handbrake on share the same warning lamp and it is red.

The brake fluid level will be low or the sensor is duff. I wouldn't of thought an ABS fault would give you the three beeps and as well as the light.
