I believe you have a problem with one of the speed sensors which operate from each wheel and will be fitted very close to the rotor....If you'd like to you can jack it up take off a wheel at a time and support with a stand as you'll need to stick your head in under the wheel arch to check and see if there is a sensor with a broken cable....They will all be fitted behind the wheel on the back plate or the inside of the stub axle housing....I'd suggest taking it for a scan and that will detect which wheel has the problem and cut down the work time....Regards Johngee10
SOrry for the short explantion, first time user, I usually have the BAS/ESP lights on, now when I start it up, they are not on. The brakes randomly come on, makes the antilock brake noise and the car slows down. Both of those lights flicker on and off.
Hi lostnomad !, I've changed my mind about you being able to use the vehicle safely, now that I understand the problem more fully....Still sounds like you have a problem with your traction control which is a part of the ABS system....The ABS system and traction control usually use the same wheel sensors....Basically the traction is controlled automatically by applying braking on the wheel which exceeds the rotation rate of the other wheels....When this happens it stops any loss of traction and stops the vehicle going out of control when cornering fast or on wet or slippery roads....You'll need a scan tool or someone who has one to identify and correct the fault....It sounds as if it could be a problem in the control unit or the pump of the ABS unit....
Thhe first action to take is to pin point the problem....but also it wouldn't do any harm to check the sensors I spoke of yesterday....I'd like to know how you get on and maybe help during whatever reply that has to be done....Would you keep me updated?....Regards Johngee
Hey thanks for the reply, the problem at the Dealership was a Clockspring. They want to charge about 305$ installed. Hope it works.
Thanks again.
You're very welcome Nomad my friend. Sorry it cast you so much, but now we can both feel easy when you're out and about.
I hope you don't get too lost....But even if you do, half the fun of being lost, is finding your way again.
All the best and regards Johngee10

Well, the ESP/BAS come on and off and flicker, the ABS crunching noise seems to come on at random and brake at random, sorry for the short explanation earlier.
