Cold start ABS warning light

Featured Replies

When I start my Fabia in cold weather the warning lights go out when the electrics are turned on (except the oil, battery and hand brake) then when the ignition is turned and the engine fires up the ABS light comes on again for a few seconds and goes off again. This only happens when the temperature is below 5 degrees C.

I've tested the brake and they work fine as does the ABS when applied very hard as I would expect does anyone else have this in cold weather.

Its a 03 plate 1.2 petrol Fabia.

i was going to post exactly the same thing today! just the same as what happens on my 56 plate vrs. everything seems to be in order but would be great if someone could confirm it :thumbup:

normal as far as i'm concerned , just the ABS self-testing perhaps , mines always done it , whether hot or cold
