Colt ABS light on?

[vikwaters]

Hi,
I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Colt Cz3 1.5 petrol and my Abs light now comes on and stays on, the mpg display on the dashboard now just shows --- instead of the mpg.

Trawling through Google leads me to believe that an ABS sensor might have developed a fault. Anyone got any thoughts on workarounds, costs, general advice?

Thanks a lot

if the light is on all the time take it to be read on a diagnostic machine , it costs about £20 then you ll know what it is and can go from there also is there any difference in the brakes eg soft , hard ?

You could get a cheap lead off ebay and read it yourself or as already mentioned get it read, thats the only way you'll find out what is failing.

Thanks for that, been out driving today and did about 250 miles everything feels ok. Think I'll nip to my local garage tomorrow and see what they advise, their normally pretty honest. Problem is I go offshore for 3 weeks on Wednesday, so not much time to get it done before I hand the keys to my missus :FRIGHT:

Thank you both for the advice :Clap:


Just one question, what type of lead would I need and any type of software to 'search' for? (just in case I have problems in the future)

you can buy a fault reader from ebay or argos
