Just popped out in the Rangie - driving along the road I heard the dash emit a warning beep - that'll be expensive, thinks me....

ABS Failure displayed on the Dash... Nuts thinks me...

Traction Failure displayed on the Dash... Nuts again I think...

A minute or so later, another expensive beep emits from the Dash and now Airbag failure has appeared as well......

Joy......

Nice suggestion, but I doubt if that would help with the Airbags, ABS and Traction Control!

rav, check the battery terminals, this is what happened to me when it popped a connection off! also check charge of battery and charge rate of alternator. while yr under there give the fuse box a firm slap. dunno if that will help but i always give it a slap just to show it who's boss!

Most problably, alternator problem or earth points... Most of that problems are low electric power related. when you turn on the RR, does the ABS and TC lights function normaly? or you get the warning imediatly?

yeah def electrically related, i changed my battery and it has all gone now. When the cold weather is here you find out if your battery is any good!

I haven't had time to check the Battery and Alternator yet, but I agree, it does sound Battery related.

The Airbag warning has disappeared (for the time being) but the ABS and Traction Control ones remain - they only seem to appear when the engine is running - not when ignition is on and engine is off... They come up within a few seconds of the engine starting though.

I'll try and find my Meter tonight to see what is going on.... Fun Fun Fun!
