Many possible causes , here is an example .
ABS LAMP COMES ON
MODELS AFFECTED
:
Petrol engines, all - except VR6
FAULT
:
ABS lamp comes on, fault code 01276.
CAUSE
:
When the ABS cable loom is damp and the vehicle is operating at high engine speed leakage current of the ignition coil gets into the suppressor of the pump sensor cable.
SOLUTION
:
Change the routing of the pump sensor cable. Route the ABS pump sensor cable and engine speed sensor cable away from the ignition transformer to the arch by unwrapping the engine speed sensor cable and pump sensor cable to the arch. Wrapping up the pump sensor cable without engine speed sensor.
Rerouting the engine speed sensor cable on the bulkhead. Routing the pump sensor cable and fastening it with existing cable binder to suspension strut housing.
You will need to get it scanned and see what shows . Might be something simple like a sensor .
