Evening all,

 

I have a mk1 Fabia Vrs on a 54 plate. My partner got home this evening and stated there’s warning lights on the dashboard (see picture attached). The handbrake light flashes and beeps and the other two remain permanently on. I know the one is the ABS light but not actually sure what the other is?

 

I had the rear discs, pads and handbrake cable replaced about three months ago, then a rear near side wheel bearing replaced about a week ago. I am not sure if it’s a sensor that’s been knocked or maybe fluid related?

 

Any ideas before I ring the garage tomorrow?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

James

Further information: my partner said that she went over a speed bump (assuming too quick!) and the car scraped as it’s on coilovers. Maybe something has knocked on the bump, but not too sure what?

Sounds like an abs sensor or the wiring to it. Had the same on mine with a duff offside sensor. Have you got a code reader?

Would the sensor or wiring be on show for it to scrape on a speed bump (post above).

Not really. Check the big strip fuses on top of the battery as they are known for cracking. The jolt could have affected the ABS one.

Make sure you inspect them very carefully as the cracks can be vitually imperceptible. Give them a wee poke.

 

Thanks for the reply. I took it to the garage today who read it via the computer and stated there is an intermittent fault showing (can’t remember the code or the message but I think it was to do with voltage). They said to bring it back next week for further diagnosis but maybe the ASR pump.

 

I really don’t want to pay big money and it’s really strange how it came on after my mrs hit the speed bump and scraped all the underneath of the car therefore I have been looking online to hopefully find a cheaper fix! I have read that the ‘load signal wire’ breaking can make the ASR light come on, but would the ABS and handbrake light coke on too? I’m going to check underneath the car later today.

Photo of the fuses as described/shown by TMB might save you a load of cash replacing something that isn't the problem.

Whereabouts are you James?

Well, the ASR and ABS use the same wheel sensors...
