Abs Problem

[lassechr]

Hi. I have just bought a Grand Voyager 3.3l Stove and go 2006 mod. Found that the ABS dosn't work. Ran diagnostic tool and discovered that I was not able to run the ABS pump. Checked the two fuses in fusebox. They are ok. The ABS lamp in the instrument panel does not come on when turning the ignition key. Wheel sensors give response. Motor gone? Is there a relay or another fuse somewhere I cant find? Any idea anyone?

When our abs motor was drowned in puddles by my wife entertaining the girls, the light came on, so I disabled it so we had proper brakes till it dried out!

 

At the moment you've got full brakes I presume? How did you uncover the anti lock system isn't working?

Hi. I was driving on a snowcovered road and did a panic brake. No reaction from the ABS only locked wheels. Then I stopped, turned off the ignition, waited a some seconds and turned on the ignition again expecting the ABS lamp to turn on and after a few seconds turn off. It never turned on. Then I called a friend with a diagnostic tool (workshop quality) and he ran a few tests including one that should start the ABS pump. Nothing reaction.

Yep something dodgy there then, and also for no light !

 

When ours was out of action the light was on all the time.

Suspect you've an abs fault, and someone has bypassed the abs light to hide the issue. 

I don't know how you would stop the light lighting though.

Does the traction control light illuminate? It's on the instrument panel.

The switch is on the top of the column.
