Abs

[Pulsar_stu]

Hi all.

I know it's not a nova related question, but it's vauxhall and most nova guys a vauxhall guys so tend to know a lot about other vauxhalls etc.

I have a 2001 1.6 petrol zafira

The abs light has started to come on the dash. When I start the car it isn't on, it comes one after about 5 minutes of driving.
I did the pedal fault code check but soon realised this doesn't show abs fault codes.

Can someone please tell me how and where I check for abs fault codes?
Is there a light on the abs ecu or something? And where will I find it?

Thank you.

Snap on code reader

Iirc the sensor is in the wheel hub and bearing, get to a scrapers for a low mileage wreckage IMO. You'll need it to pass an mot.

The fault will need clearing though

[Southie]

It will clear though if his part is okay wont it?

If it's just the sensor then the fault will clear.

New bearing pack, about £30 new for the front. Three bolts.

I was hoping there was a free way of reading the codes.
My mate offered me his snapon reader earlier but I refused because I thought it would only read the engine ecu fault codes?

He told me to remover the battery terminals and touch them together and refit them.
It's cleared the codes so I can get the mot done.
I will take the car back to his when the light comes back on and see what his reader throws up.

I'm guessing there's 4 of those hub sensors? So I need to find out which one is knickered so I don't waste money,,,

Thank you for your replies :)

Just look under the car and see if any of the wires are broken (common)

Oh ok, thanks. I will look tomorrow :)
