Hello guys, 

 

I own a 2012 Skoda Octavia VRS. Today, after I entered the car and put the key into ignition, the "ERROR: ABS/Stabilization control (ESC)" popped onto the maxi dot and all of the warning lights (ESP, ABS, Power steering, Tpms) turned on, followed by multiple tpms sound beep. I attached a video showing the problem. 

 

I drove for a few kilometers, hoping that they would go away, but they didn't. I have done a vcds scan, I also attached the logs down below. It seems like there is a fault with the abs sensor on the front right wheel.

 

Would you have any suggestions I could try before going to the service and removing the wheel? Do you think it's a bad abs sensor or perhaps an electrical issue? It feels strange as the last time I drove it was yesterday night and nothing would signal this kind of issue. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Try the simple things first like physically checking the ABS sensor wiring/connector.

I did that today, jacked the car up on an elevator and the sensor + wire is ok. I think there was a rat inside the engine compartment as I found multiple spots and I think it might've chewed other cables which completely sucks, as you might imagine. Now I gotta go and check every single cable related to abs, ESP, power steering, Tpms etc. 

That's progress though.

Or you could try reading the fault codes? This lot look like an ABS sensor fault, but that doesn't have to mean a front wheel or something in the engine bay.

Went to the electrician today. As I suspected, a rat chewed the electrical circuit going from the engine bay to the right front wheel abs sensor.
