2000 SEAT Ibiza 1.4 ABS Light On: Causes, Diagnosis & New Brake Replacement Impact

Hello. I have a SEAT Ibiza 2000 car. today, when I came home, the abs light turned on. in a moment it goes out and lights up again. The mechanic connected to the computer and showed nothing. A moment ago it turned on again and does not go out. Does anyone know what the reason could be? I will add that the brakes were replaced

It's strange that the computer didn't show anything. Errors should be saved in the ABS controller. Perhaps the mechanic does not know how to use a computer. I know it's strange because I recently had a client who also had a breakdown and they checked him at the workshop and there was nothing. For me, the whole litany was out, my colleagues had only a manual interface,

I suspect one of the ABS sensors to be replaced. I had the same thing, when I drove into a puddle, the light was on, after drying it stopped. After replacement, the problem disappeared.

I went to the computer again and it detected that the sensor in the right wheel was to be replaced

You can clean / check the crown on the wrist, maybe some metal dust is stuck to the sensor. If it's ok, the sensor remains.

I do not know if it is similar in this model, but in Ibiza 2003 I also found the sensor in the right front wheel, and surprisingly it turned out that I had a blown fuse next to the battery and a burnt bulb in the left rear lamp. You may not believe it, but after replacing these elements, the error disappeared, the abs still works and the guitar - that's the whole story . Perhaps there is another reason, a broken sensor, some muck on the sensor, frayed cables or something with an ankle. It's worth checking out.

there is a pump error from the fuse, from the light bulbs there is an error in the ecu not abs

Listen, you can know very well about these topics, but I know what error came up, what was the reason and how I dealt with it, thanks to the forum. I already had a new ABS sensor and even a stop switch in my hand, but when I came up with the topic and the "guy" who did it in his car, told me to check the things I wrote about above and imagine that it was a shot at 10. I do not know if it is similar in a given model from the topic and whether the owner will check it, it costs nothing, but I know what I am writing and saying. I know how it sounds, but it was so and so far the car drives with factory sensors from ABS.

To andrzej20001 - do not be surprised by such "miracles". The fuse on the battery has broken, the computer has now recorded a pp wheel error. With a blown fuse on the battery, there will be no communication with the ABS controller. After installing a new fuse and removing errors from the controller and replacing the bulb, everything returned to normal. Conclusion - when the abs light is on, replace the bulbs in the rear lamps and the fuses on the battery.

Note that this advice was given by an amateur to an amateur and the conclusions were drawn by the amateurs.
Remember, replacing light bulbs with a prescription for all the lights of the car.

There is a generator error from the fuse on the battery that powers the generator's transmitters. Not a sensor. The stop lamps flies through the engine ecu. Pushes the putty and that's it. Mechanic. Diagnostics is over.

I congratulate my "colleague" on his mischief and cunning. There are different "tricks" in our cars and different ways or principles of repair and diagnostics. You're right, the amateur gave the amateur some tips to which the author of the amateur post could comment, check or not. And it is also not a medicine as you write, replacing a light bulb or a fuse on the battery, for all "balls". It clearly says what was at my place and what I did.

A colleague should agree with the speech that someone "pushes the kitty". You were a "mechanic" friend and did you see what problem I had and how I removed this problem? no.
Therefore, restrain a little "colleagues" with such talk. I gave my problem and "trivial" solution. The bulb is the accessory I mentioned.

In your opinion, all the "amateurs" on the forum have all the schematics of all cars in the world in mind, the equipment in the garage for millions, experience from 50 years? And those amateurs with such background are asking you "colleagues" for help. Knock your heads.

And as, knowing life, the thunderbolts will start soon ...

I apologize to the Moderators for littering the topic and forum.
