SOURCE: hi the abs light has
hello andre..... when the abs light comes on it is usually do to a bad sensor. In order to check and see which sensor is bad you have to put the car up in a lift and test each one. IF you still have the antilock braking action occurring you know it is only a bad sensor. If there is no more automatic pumping of the brakes in a hard stop the antilock brake system is bad. THE good news is the brakes will still work, you just have to pump them yourself. Joe
Thanks for choosing Fixya!

With mini's you can get the error code if you use a scan tool. Some shops would let you borrow one. Once you have retrieve the error code you can accurately diagnose the problem The error however does not necessarily the part related to the code is faulty. There could be problems with the wiring or the connectors.
The air bag light has its own bulb but it is installed in one panel. Removing the light would of course would prevent the indicator to light up.
In some cases wiring was disturbed under the seat causing the problem sometimes if the seat was vacuumed underneath. A disconnected sensor would cause the light to turn on.
The abs,Asc,Handbrake all this is related to most likely a sensor that has gone out is not functioning properly. I would not drive this myself, especially with the air bag light on as if computer is throwing these signals out, you do not want to take the chance of air bag accidentally going off. Most this I am sure can be fixed at dealer. They will hook up there fancy equipment diagnostic machine, and reset the computer. Worst case is there might be a sensor that has to be replaced. This could be also a short in wire harness. Bottom line take it in and have them hook up to machine. This will pin point problem, because next step would be car could automatically shut down.
