ABS light issues
Discussion
Have got a '99 Honda CR-V which has a bit of an intermittent ABS light. Apparently it's not an uncommon fault on these as the sensors can get mucky/knackered. Can sometimes feel it kicking in at low speeds & dry roads, so presume sensor thinks one of wheels spinning a bit more than the others when it actually isn't.
Problem is it's not on all the time, so will come and go, which is meaning it could be tricky to get the code read from it when the light is actually on. Have got the MOT coming up in September and thinking ahead to that as know an ABS light is going to be a fail. I might be lucky in that it stays off for the duration, but equally I might not...
Any idea what category of failure the ABS light would under new rules? Does the test require the light to be illuminated on startup and then go out? This is pre-mandatory ABS so just wondering if could disable it temporarily somehow (remove fuse/relay?) then that would get rid of the light?
