New to esprit, what a great marque. Had the fate to have anti lock lamp displayed and front brakes applied by car. Now have check engine 26 fault, waiting on manual. Any help, got new discs/ pads, how do you interrogate ABS? Got freescan pack, what is QDM driver? Had 3 months great motoring so far, can't have the beast off th road too long

Hi there, as far as i knew the freescan software can't diagnose any of the ABS system but I could be wrong. Have you upgraded your discs or pads to performance ones?
You could try to reset your ECU to see if it was just a glitch. Otherwise there is a site where you can perform basic tests on your ABS system, I'll try to find it for you.
It sounds like bad ABS switch or accumulator but you will need to get it checked out.
Have you checked to see if your brakes are binding?


Cheers,
