Took the vxr springs off the rear of the ute yesterday to replace with the stock ones, then had to adjust the handbrake for an mot this week, driving it today and abs warning light came on, anything I could have done to make this happen?
Typical the car breaks when it's for sale lol

Could you of knocked a sensor, or not plugged one back in?

Light still on, nothing disconnected, as I pulled away the abs was kicking in initially at slow speeds, then light went out and braking normal, half mile up the road and light back on again, braking absolutely fine but didn't push my luck, will get a try to get a code in a bit, any ideas?

Knackered. I'll give you a tenner for the Ute - as long as you deliver it. wink

I still think you've probably just disturbed something, and that if you clean and check the ABS sensor locations and their connectors, you should clear the fault.

Failing that, take the bulb out. wink

That's a very good point, the ute has not landed in its correct stance yet, have tried to bounce on it but that's not worked lol, have checked all wiring/fuses/fluids and all ok, I think a few launches might help today maybe, that won't be fun though!
