Abs and traction control light

[Alexrendall123]

Hi there the abs and traction control lights keep comming up on my Citroen berlingo 2014 and when plugged into a diagnostics tester nothing comes up. Can anyone give me any advice please many thanks

Hi Alex welcome to the forum. What diagnostics kit were you using unless it was the citroen/Peugeot kit or a really decent 3rd party kit they cannot read abs/traction control faults as far as im aware.

Is a snap on diagnosis tester

Have you checked the brake fluid level is correct first? TC is correct, you need pretty specialised kit to check these vehicles properly. It could just be fluid level however.

Always possible you have an actual abs fault, but you don't say if the large red STOP warning comes up? If there was a genuine fault, that would happen for the brakes / abs system.

Hi,
You will need lexia to read codes.
Full ABS codes is best read by lexia.

Brake fluid level is a good shout.
ABS will only show a fault when the light is on, so wait for the light to come on & test the car in this state , without switching the engine off, often the fault will simply reset once you switch off.

Cheers Mark. I've seen this happen before and when the stop light doesn't come on, it was only low fluid level.
