Abs And Trc Flashing.

[Balsca]

Hi Guys, after a drive I popped into Tescos for 10 minutes, when I returned and started the car, the ABS and TRC were flashing although the car felt alright.

I drove it home without problem and parked it up in the garage as my mate had my obd2 scanner, and I nabbed it off him today.

I went back to the car today and found it hard to start and a bit lumpy, although not as bad as when 1 coilpack failed last year, and needed a bit of gas to keep it going at first.

Plugged the reader in but noticed the Engine management light was not lit and there was no codes stored/pending.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers

Iain

Have you read the error codes of the ABS-TRC ECU or the Engine ECU?

Had the the same problem, had to read codes from under bonnet, mine was abs sensor front right got a second hand one put it in, cancelled fault and all ok now, not sure was mine the actual sensor or the plug where sensor plugs in before i got sorted lights woulld come on some times not on all the time, think mine could have been a brake in a wire or sensor,, watch out ya have no traction cntrl workin when the lights are flashin
