ABS & Traction Control in Telford
An ABS, traction or stability warning usually means the system has seen a discrepancy it cannot trust — a wheel-speed signal that doesn't match the others, a pump that didn't run, or a module that lost communication. The car will still brake in most cases, but the anti-lock and stability help is disabled, which is a real safety loss. We trace ABS faults from the wheel sensor and tone ring through the wiring to the ABS module itself, and code any replacement so the system accepts it.
Common Symptoms
If you are seeing any of the following, it points to a abs & traction control issue we can diagnose:
- ABS, traction-control or stability-control warning light on
- Speedo dropping to zero or reading erratically while driving
- Pulsing or clicking from the ABS pump
- ABS module replaced and now the light will not clear
- Traction control cutting in for no reason on dry roads
- MOT failure on ABS function
Common Causes
Faults like this rarely have a single cause. The usual culprits we find are:
- Faulty wheel-speed sensor or damaged tone ring
- Broken or corroded ABS wiring at the wheel or along the chassis
- Internal ABS / ESP module failure
- ABS pump or hydraulic unit fault
- Module replaced without correct coding and variant configuration
