Hi all
Have a strange one regarding the abs/traction control light on my 98 1.9.
The light seems to illuminate after a specific time or distance. I can be driving the car and say after 25 miles the warning light will come on, or say after 40mins driving?
When I turn off the car and turn it back on, the light is still illuminated, but goes off after the car starts to move..then stays off?
Anyone could through any light on this would be grateful!
Cheers danny

We can only guess.

You can scan the ABS unit with a scanner that has BMW software and see the trouble codes. Post the codes and the descriptions here and we can help. You'll then have a better idea of what is happening.
