I had the ABS light come on today whilst driving through really deep snow 30cm+. The light is now on all the time.
When I stopped the wheels were completely full of snow as was the front bumper etc. I am sure its just the snow interfereing with the sensors.

Is there anyway to reset the warning light? should the light go out when the fault clears or will it need to be reset by the dealer???

Help appreciated

I would guess the snow is interfering with the signal from the abs ring?

 

will the system reset when the snow clears from the sensor though????

 

i pressume it does, if its the same problem i had, i left it, did nothing and the problem was solved.

come to think of it, had the same thing with the FTO as well

IIRC the system checks each time the system cycles. If the fault has cleared it may store the fault in the ECU but I doubt the liught will come on again.

 

thanks for all posts...

will see tomorrow!!!
