Abs fault flash on start up.

[AussieHolden]

Over the past week I have been getting a very quick message on the dash only when cranking the engine over "ABS FAULT" only for a quick second then it's gone. I always for the first time of the day just turn the ignition to standby while it does a check and wait for the "OK" message then start the engine. Is it a glitch ? should I get it checked ? what can I do to check ?

Hey just wondering did u ever find out what it was mine been doing same came up on computer as a brake switch fault that the code it threw out!

Often it's the battery not having enough grunt left in it to run the ABS pump check as well as cranking. Always check the easiest thing first, a battery that is not tip top can cause all sorts of "odd" faults. Get it properly load tested and go from there.

Yep , check your battery terminals are tight , or get a volt check on the battery , I had the ABS fault come up on my VZ , culprit was lose battery cable
