Zsara Picasso mk2 abs problem

[Alfaandy]

Hi, I’ve got a 2010 car which had an intermittent abs fault that is now permanent, the light and warning message is displayed soon after starting but goes off when I drive, I general garage diagnosed the abs relay/ pump, I removed and sent off to be repaired but it came back as having no faults, I refitted and off course I still have the problem, need to fix as the car is due mot, any ideas or does it need diagnostic

Simply put, yes. It needs a proper diagnostic. The ABS system performs a self-check on startup and if it finds a fault it will throw up a warning. The worst thing you can do is to start spending money on replacing / repairing parts without knowing the cause or getting some pointers.

Get a proper diagnostic first with Lexia / Diagbox, then put the codes up here along with your VIN.

The most common ABS problems relate to a faulty speed sensor on one of the wheels. But without a diagnostic you won't know where to start. This can often happen with wheel changes or brake / disc changes where a sensor is damaged or it may be that it has become damaged from a pothole or knock - but these will be guesses until diagnosed.
