ABS lamp lighted on Swift

[Lovemyride]

Good day to all,

 

I am driving a 5 yr old Swift. 1.5Auto. The car is in stock condition, mileage about 90k plus.

 

Recently, the ABS lamp lighted up on the dashboard. I stopped at the side of the road, off the engine and restart again. After I moved off for a while, the lamp goes off.

 

I called Champion Motors and they asked me if I changed my battery recently. Yes it was changed about 4 months ago. They said it might be a computer problem and since there is no more warranty, it is $70+ for troubleshooting. I read online, and many others who have the ABS lighted seems to be having problems with the sensors and not the brake system itself.

 

Sometimes, I can drive a whole trip without it lighted up until when I am about to off the engine after parking the car. It might be some wiring loose which triggered the lamp after going down from shopping centre carpark.

 

I do not mind going to CM to troubleshoot, but they can only troubleshoot at the Pandan service centre. I told them it is difficult for me to explain the situation because I cannot confirm on the day I send the car in, the lamp will be lighted!

 

Is there any other workshop (prefer in the East) that is able to read the error code from the ECU or diagnose the fault? Please feel free to PM me.

 

My normal braking system still works, but I just want the ABS thing to be solved so I can have a peace of mind when driving the car. Thanks.

Bro, you can drop by DKC at Tampines ind park, Block 9002, #01-66. They are specialize in Swift. For your case, I believe is sensor faulty. Look for Tony when you are there.
