Needs a scan. Could be abs, steering angle sensor, or other sensors. Best not to guess, can waste money.Hi everyone,
It happens pretty much every drive now, where the beep shouts at me and this comes up:
View attachment 99651
My most likely guess is a faulty ABS sensor? Although I'm really not sure. Could anyone identify this?
Thanks much,

All be it, a hateful job to to unless your a contortionist!Check brake lights but fit a switch anyway as they always fail in my experience and if your stuck having to pay for a scan the £12 for a switch is worth a punt!

You’re obviously either much flexible than me or less bulky (though the later isn’t hard!!) as I round it a complete PITA!Tbf I found It easy once you have the lower dash trim off
Thanks Mac, much appreciatedNeeds a scan. Could be abs, steering angle sensor, or other sensors. Best not to guess, can waste money.

Perfect I'll get on that. CheersA couple of basic checks you can do before you have the car scanned.
Check the level of the fluid in the brake reservoir and top up with fresh DOT 4 if needed.
Check the front brake pads for excessive wear could be break wear or could be a fault in the brake wear wiring.

Ouch. That's annoying. Hope you get it solvedGood luck with finding this, I have the same, done ,any scans with nothing to show. So far I’ve changed all 4 wheel bearings, all 4 ABS sensors, brake light switch and reservoir level switch , and it still does it, next to try is the yaw sensor.
It's very odd, that you're seeing an abs light, with no error code showing on a scan. What scan tool did you use? Any warning/alarm condition is stored, along with it's details, and will remain, even after the fault is rectified, unless cleared via OBD port.Good luck with finding this, I have the same, done ,any scans with nothing to show.

Putting it a bit clearer, if there are definitely no error codes being reported, then the fault could well be in the dash cluster, and not a sensor.It's very odd, that you're seeing an abs light, with no error code showing on a scan.

I got a few from ebayWhere could I get a switch?
@CreweAudi are a good place to startI got a few from ebay
@Erlingtheyounger is spot on, only use genuine OEM (not OEM quality), sensors. Aftermarket sensor are often of poor quality, and can be faulty out of the box.@CreweAudi are a good place to start
