SOURCE: Audi a4 ABS light on

ensure the ecu connection is good the plug for those sometimes need a good amount of pressure to put on abs light i would check the sensors next to your brake caliper to ensure its not broken or disconnect it or if you dont feel like checking it buy new ones and replace them

SOURCE: 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. Whenever

Reports say that this can be caused by cold solder connections in the centre instrument panel where the A/C controls are. Electrical system issue here manifests itself in instrument cluster. Fix is to remove 4 screws to access A/C stuff. Look for burnt or loose wiring / terminals on connectors in this area.. Re-solder or obtain used replacemnt terminal if needed, from junk yard. Mine is 1999 Grand Caravan. Intermittent failures then permanent with instrument cluster.

SOURCE: Hi, On my 98 volvo s40, The ABS dashboard light

You will definitely have to take it and have the light reset. Or you could try to take the Negative battery cable off for about 15 minutes, sometimes this will reset the computer.

SOURCE: Renault Megane Scenic 2002

I recently bought a second hand 54 reg Scenic and when I used the key card to lock the car it emitted a high pitched noise/sound/whistle. While looking for the source of the sound I leant on the bonnet. I found that every time I put pressure on a certain point on the bonnet the noise stopped, but when I took my hand off it started again. I guessed it must be some kind of contact breaker, so opened the bonnet and took a look. I spotted two contacts on the underside of the bonnet and guessed they were being held too far from the main body, on the edge on the opening I found two round rubber adjustable dampers (presumably to stop the bonnet banging when closed) I screwed them both in slightly and it cured the problem.
It's worth checking this before taking the car to the garage. I guess the high pitched noise is to warn you that something isn't closing properly.

Hi my mechanic put a second hand ecu in my Toyota rav4 2004, but it won't accept it, can you please help... Thanks

Seems you need to get a qualified mechanic. Many times a used ECU must be 'programmed' to work with a car different than it was originally installed in. You should be able to have this done at a dealer, or check around for a qualified garage that has the software to do this.

Why do I have an intermittent problem with ABS and power steering lights?

Bad or loose intermittent wire connections to and from sensors. Some unauthorised mechanic has been working on the car? Take it back and talk to the service manager, or the shop owner.

My temperatur gauge shows hot when i turn on the ignition and two fans turns on right away can you tell me whats the prablem is?

Well it can be one of too things the gage or the temp sensor.
its most likely the sensor. The temp sensor is normally mounted with the thermostat housing which is on the top of the engine and has the top radiator hose going to it if you can't see it, try taking off the plastic covers. With the ignition on so all gages are reading go and unplug the sensor the gage should drop back strata way, this tells you that you have the wright sensor there are sometimes 2 one for the gage and the other for cold starting. There is a possibility that the problem may be coursed by a squashed or rubbed throw wire so if you can't make the gage return to cold by disconnecting the wires then start following the wires back along the engine.
I think you will find a faulty sensor is the cores of your problems and should be easy to pick up at any car part place.

ISUZU BIGHORN ABS PROBLEM

You will still have normal braking. If you can't afford to have the ABS fixed it's no big deal because alot of cars don't have ABS anyway. The brakes will work just like a car that doesn't have ABS. Hope this helps.

Wheels lock even though the car has ABS fitted

sounds like a drive pump issue to me but not understand why no light on unless someone has disconnected it for easier sales? but cars with abs are usually not designed to run without it and could be quite dangerous. it is a costly fix but prob better in garage hand. hope this helps

Bmw 3 series air bag control unit 1999 318 se. saloon

hi air bags are very delicate things its very dangerous to any one fitting them as any sudden bangs and electrical surges may set them off so please be carefull if trying this your self . there are 2 thing to do befor doing this disconnect the battery and the fuses to your air bag before changing it
no it will not reset it self when fitted but you can take it to your local garage to be reset in fact you maybe better of taking the hole thing down there to be fitted and they will reset it for you too
most garages wll do this now you dont have to take it to the main dealers to sort out this problem the cost at a dealer doing this is very high but for your local garage it should be half the price for the same job
i hope this helps you sort your problem out
thanks all the best to you
