ABS MIL Lamp Illuminates on "Pull Away" or During Driving

NOTE: It is likely that the TC MIL lamp and Traction OFF lamp will also illuminate on vehicles with traction control fitted.

POSSIBLE CAUSES:
^ Faulty sensor or wiring.
^ Faulty rotor or wheel bearing installation giving inconsistent signals to ABS / TC CM.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS
^ Check sensor installation for:
- Security of sensor lead fixing bolt.
- Damage to sensor lead.
- Possible damage to rotor.
- Excessive play in wheel bearing.
- Intermittent faults caused by poor harness connection or damage.
