    Default Just had a wig-out

    Just driving home just then, was braking at a set of lights, heard a small clunk, and noticed the ABS, Low Traction and Traction Off Lights had come on, they shortly turned backed off, as i drove off a few secs later the ABS light come on, followed 10 seconds later by the Powertrain/ECU light and the Airbag light
    Im definately assuming this is computer related, but has anyone else had this before or know possible reasons???

    They sound like the symptoms of a faulty ABS module but it could also be due to a bad connection or faulty voltage regulator on the alternator.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Ebay is your friend here. Just make sure that you get the right model, as in with traction control or without.

    This happened to me the other week, freaks you out doesn't it?

    Mine happened on the highway when I was breaking lightly for heavy traffic. Nearly ran into the car in front of me.
