Beau Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hi, I hope someone can help me! The airbag light has always been on since I replaced the airbag, this is not the issue though. When turning right (always right) and going very slowly the front right brakes are applied, only to that wheels. The traction control light is also on. This recently happened and the handbrake light also came on but goes off when restarting the car. I have heard it could be tyres being out of tolerance but Mine are within the 2.5%. They are 265 35 19 and rear are 285 35 19. The other possibility is that it is the abs sensor on that right wheel. I think this may be the issue as this is where the car had the accident previously. It could have been damaged! Has anyone else had similar issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think the ABS sensor would be a good place to start - 2 cars I viewed when we were looking for a car had this problem. SpursMadDave had a similar problem too I think. If its had a whack too then I'd definitely have it checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r111nxx Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi mate. I've had this. No guarantee yours will be the same but had it connected upto the laptop at my mates garage and it saidbrake fluid switch fault. Believe it or not it turned out just to be the brake fluid needed topping up. Been good since. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 I just checked the brakes fluid and it is close to max. Will I need to reset anything then? When restarting the light is off, until I drive where it then switches back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I had the light cleared via the computer after refilling the brake fluid and that sorted it for me. If it is already full maybe it isn't this for yours. Have you checked your brake pads have plenty of life left in them? Especially the inside as you wouldn't normally see if they were worn when cleaning your wheels etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r111nxx Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Well again this happened to me a while ago. The lights may just be coming on to say there is a problem with the brakes. Have you checked the innerside brakes- these are prone to be worn more than the outer. Worth a check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
