ABS, stability, engine check lights

[350]

Morning all,

Yesterday I drove 140 miles to work with no problems. At the end of the day I came back and started the car, it started fine as normal but I immediately got the ABS fault, stability control off, and engine check lights/ warnings appeared.
I had a quick look under the bonnet and didn't notice anything, aux belt was still on.

Car drove fine on the short drive to hotel, no issues other than the warning lights.

put the key in this morning and still the same warnings.

Any ideas? I'm tempted to just reset the codes and see if it is just a spurious occurrence.

Cheers
Mike

ok thanks. last time my battery died was a couple of years ago, so I'd be surprised if its that, but i'll put a multimeter on it.

Is there an easy way to reset the warning lights?

I checked this morning before starting the engine, had 12.4V, so a little on the low side, but it did start quickly.
Alarms still present.

I've got a jump start pack on standby so will see how it goes.

I've got an OBD reader at home...

Although I've heard that most aren't that useful and give just codes related to the engine? Any particular one you recommend that will diagnose potential ABS faults?

Thanks, very kind of you to offer, I'm a bit far away in Lancaster at the moment, although live in Birmingham so I'll see how I get on for now

Well last night I started the car and the only warning that came up was the engine check light... getting a code reader today to see what is flagged up.
Will look in to a load tester

Checked the codes last night and got C1234 and C1209 which do indeed point to an ABS issue.

I've cleared the codes for now so will see if its an intermittent issue.

I got the loom and sensor changed and that solved the issue. I haven't checked continuity of the loom yet but I'm sure that was the problem as sometimes the speedo showed the car was moving when sat on the drive!
