Hi there,

Just a few things to try

I assume you have copied then cleared dct's and tried again?

2, check for loose battery connections, can throw up these faults

3, check ABS module plug pins for corrosion, because it positioned next to the screen wash header, over a period of time the rubber seal can become perished due to over full of screen wash (glycol content)
Make sure the ignition is off before disconnecting !

4, if you clean any pins be careful not to bend any, spray with a good contact cleaner

Good luck

Hi

Thanks for your reply, I have cleared codes after a few minutes of driving one of the codes came back but not both. I've looked at battery terminals and they look perfect not loose at all. The module doesn't look corroded tbh so I'm not sure :(

Look on the Ross-tech site

You will find a test procedure for testing the Abs module and components

Cheers

Whose code reader are you using?

It's a VS450 when you do an ABS scan nothing comes up.

Again thank you for your help so far.

No don't think you would with a basic OBD reader, you need to obtain the use of vcd's to run a scan

Where about are you?

As update, after diagnostic was the MAF read through these forums and realised the pipercross induction kit I bought second hand was still using the oiled filter, have now fitted the stage 3 dry version from revolution and changed MAF cleared codes and car is fine.

Would never had guessed as it seemed to be driving ok.

Thanks for your input, and thanks to revolution for giving me a forum discount ;) :bigwave:
