ABS diagnostic code.

Post by Katka » Sat Apr 15, 2017 12:19 pm

We have a 1999 V6 ad the ABS warning light, after a period of intermittent warning is now staying on. I've plugged into the Diagnostic connector as per Philmcfadden's instructions and get a code that doesn't seem to be listed. It's flashes 5x, pause, then repeated. The 5 flashes are on both LED and on the dashboard warning light. I'd estimate the flash is about 1/2 second, then a 1/2 sec gap.
Does anyone know what code this might mean?
thanks

Looks like only a single code set rather than the dual slow/fast so either 50 or 05 maybe, neither listed as is often the way :-(

Thanks for the info. I've been unable to find any explanation for a 5 flash diagnostic code, but have ordered a cable that appears to convert the Bongo to ODBC reader that I already have...... Only £6 wasted if it doesn't work.
The rear wheels will be off shortly to fit Spring assistors, so I'll take a look at those sensors at the same time.
cheers and Happy Easter
