Hello Paul.

Can you tell us a little bit more about what happened please.

You braked in the wet and your ABS light came on?

Is the light still on?

It means you have a fault with the ABS system. The brakes will still work and feel OK, but you will not have any anti-lock. The warning will make the car fail an MOT. How old is the car?

There could be several causes. I have had it happen twice, the first time it was diagnosed as a rear sensor, which was replaced under extended warranty, but they also found a corroded ABS ring. The second time it was the other side, and this time a new ABS ring was enough to sort the problem. On later cars (ours was 2011) it may cause the tyre pressure monitoring system to fail.

hi, the car is a citroen c3 picasso 2009 new style dies 1.6 vtr+

i was just driving along about 58mph on a dual carriageway, it was wet and there was a beep and on the display just said Abs System Fault, and the light is still on?? is it an expensive job to get fixed ?? would a garage diagnostic find the fault??

It still brakes fine and it did go out this morning only for about 5 mins and then it went on again. I did have a rear left squeeky brake, protyre just said that it was brake dust and told me it was 50% worn, would they have to have taken of the wheel to find this out??

Thanks for helping everyone Paul
