Very spongey brakes

dalodav · Nov 29, 2009

I have an Mreg P38
The 3 lights on the dash stay on "ABS..BRAKES..TC."
I have to pump the brakes to slow the car down.
Checked brake fluid and all is ok.
Any ideas please.

Sounds Like your ABS is a t fault, it may not be pressurising the accumalator.
Does the motor run when you first turn the key?

All sorts of possibilities. Pump, pressure switch, dicky relay.

Might be best to go and get it plugged in so you know where to start looking. I don't know that you can get a blink code out of the system on a P38 in the same way you can on an RRC but I'm sure somebody who knows will let you know in due course.

Your ABS pump motor isnt running, check the fuses for it. If they are ok, then could be knackered
