Ve Commodore SS-V LS2
I’ve got an 08 Ve SS sedan. Started her up today to an ABS fault warning flashing on the dash, followed by stability control off. Later on in the day started it up again and now I’ve got a check engine light. I’ve read a lot about low battery output and an old battery being the issue though my battery voltage on the stock gauges is showing 14 bars which is normal. Wondering if anyone’s ran into this issue before or knows what it could be before I move forward. Cheers.

That won’t mean anything.

Get the battery health checked. Go to battery world. They do it for free.

How much charge does it hold compared with new? Charge circuit ok? What CCA is it now?

You don’t know those answers until it’s tested.

Very common for the rear abs speed sensors to fail on them and it will do exactly what yours is doing, had the same issue with mine but you need to scan the codes to confirm it as fu Manchu says its probably a good idea to get your battery tested as well as that can cause all sorts of weird issues if it’s going bad

Correct. Confirm battery and voltage is not a part of the problem. Move to the next thing as above.
