Intermittent Warning lights

Post by Ripley55 »

Hi Chaps
I have an intermittent bunch of warning lights keep coming up, only happens when I go over a level crossing, potholed/uneven road, speed bump if a tad to quickly ?
I get yellow power steering wheel light on left of cluster, and I get ABS, Traction and Tyre pressure on the right along with the audible alarm. I drive a few hundred yards, and all lights just go out, and a few seconds later the steering wheel light goes out 🤔 it’s due for annual service at the Stealer next month, and didn’t want them to take my pants down 😱 when it goes in ?
Any ideas chaps ? Faulty module ? Anyone had this before ? Appreciate any advice 👍

If something is failing or poor contact, you should be able to see an intermittent fault with VCDS, may give a clue what's happening.
Pop over to your mates garage for a scan.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread here but did you get to the bottom of it? Mine recently started doing this right after I’d disconnected the battery but I’ve triple checked all the connections and everything is fine on that front.

Hi @Aroo
Yes mate, eventually It turned out to be a relatively easy fix, it was drivers side rear ABS sensor wire. It looks like when I was running on 19's the wire/cable had suffered some rubbing. The Main Stealer tried to have my pants down, have a look at the thread from when it went in, for a Health Check !! :evil:

Thanks for the help mate,
turns out the ABS sensor on the rear wheel is cracked looked like someone had been at it before and broke it maybe doing something else.
