S6 ABS help needed urgent

[TimE-J]

Unfortunately an ABS light on or failing to light if fitted has been a failure for a few years.

[Christophski]

I thought until now if the ABS light was on it was an advisory?

[audinut]

Simple solution for an MOT is remove the bulb from the dash maybe?

If the tester is doing his job properly he has to check the operation of the light

[Christophski]

Fair enough. Looks like something im gonna have to fix on the van then. Still need to get it oput of limp mode too haha (So**ing thing)

The battery was disconected,and the two connectors on the pedel box are both plastic,so how could damage occur,would not the fuses protect it anyway.

I guess, if you can borrow an ABS ECU then this would rule out any such damage?

Is there a switch on the pedal that is not set properly in the correct position? Just a thought.

Thanks Chris,that will be my next corse of action.Unfortunatly I think the one of my 3b is different.

This has crossed my mind,but I cannot as yet find out how to check this.

Have you got access to vagcom? If the light is on and the unit isn't dead you should have a dtc.

Have you checked the fuse from the top of the ABS relay?
10 amp fuse..

Where is the relay located on the S6.

[Mikes2]

An S6 won't have the ABS relay with a fuse.

When they removed the ABS cancel switch from the dash, they also updated the ecu and other electrics and removed that relay.

I suspect the ABS ecu module may be damaged. I've got an old S2 one lying around which is the same.

You can have it for postage if you're stuck.

Thanks I might take you up on that.
I went to the local breakers yard and there is a b4 a6 there it should have an abs ecu,
not sure where its located,is it the one under the back seat.
