Hey all, I've been reading up about faults concerning the VT ABS module. Reports of various dash lights on, off or in-between, no Speedo or Tacho, heavy steering etc I have just started getting the same problem.
Took my baby down to check what error codes had logged. Take your pick!
Seemed more like a Friday night bingo than a diagnostic readout!
Numbers 18, 19, 21, 58 and more... all had been logged. Did the module connector remove thing, and sure enough, the light went out. My mechanic scratched his head and said "Yeah, I think your right, it must be the ABS module...that's gunna cost a packet". Got the codes cleared and left.
On the way home I noticed the alternator light was on, I hadn't noticed with all the other dash lights that had been on.
So, I called in to see a mate who is an Auto elec. He whacked a multimeter on it and found out it was charging at 16 - 17 volts. He recons that he has found the problem! If it is the alternator causing the faults, not the ABS unit, I might just save some money.
So, this is just a heads up for those with the same symptoms, your problem MIGHT not be the ABS unit. I will post back when I find out more.
