2001 4.0L P38 County. Vehicle has been sorned for the past 18 months and has been parked undercover with the battery on a maintenance charger and a dehumidifier running in the cabin. Finally got around to getting it ready for a mot last week. Jobs done were, nearside upper and lower ball joints , ns wheel bearing , steering damper and anti roll drop links. All running well before driving to the mot test. When starting to move onto the mot ramp. Traction failure and 30mph speed limit lamps lit up. Tester noted that the abs lamp didn’t illuminate. Tester was very complimentary about the condition of the vehicle, but couldn’t pass it as the abs lamp didn’t illuminate and then go of.
Got the vehicle back home, removed the instrument binnacle and found the abs warning lamp bulb had blown. Abs bulb now working when the ignition is on but won’t go off when driving over 5mph. SRS light is now also on ( but I assume I have knocked/loosened something when removing the instrument binnacle). Battery is fully charged and reading 13.3v. I have plugged in my Nanocom and camt seem to find any faults with the abs.
Any pointers on a logical route to diagnose the issue would be much appreciated.
On a secondary note, the garage was Stanrod Motors. Woodcote (Reading). They seem to genuinely like having an older car to deal with!
