Help needed, beeping and faults

Post by Morgan21 »

Hi all

Could use alittle help/pointing in the right direction.

when i started the car today a fault flashed up on the screen saying "abs fault" and then went. 2 mins later in flashed saying "anti pollution fault" also if there car is in motion an alarm goes of all the time unless the car is stopped. any ideas??

after a quick internet search, some had surgested removing the SH fuse for 30 mins and then re-instaling and locking the car leaving for 30 mins. is this going to cause any damage now? its 15 minutes in atm

If you look on this site I have posted the correct BSI reset process. Bit late if you've already started.
Sounds like your car may have a faulty ABS sensor.

When requesting help of a technical nature, please give as much detail of the fault as possible along with details of exact model, engine size & type, gearbox, year, mileage, and any relevant work carried out to try to solve the problem to help us help you.
Better still, put the details in your signature.

I would have said check the battery, all sorts of faults come up when the battery is dying, but not sure that would explain the "in motion" alarm problem.

Can you tell us a bit more about the car please, e.g. Model, age, mileage, and whether it is used daily or less frequently. Has it ever had a new battery or is it still on the original?
