Abs Light on and its not working

[PuppiesBalls]

Ive put on my new Brakes and the abs light is on and the abs isnt working,
ive bled off the brakes, but the light wont go out,
i took it for a little spin up the road today and it locks the front quite easily(was quite damp)
any idea what could be up with it?
Cheers Guys

Possibly you've dislodged a sensor or sensor cable. You can do the paperclip test by shorting out the following pins A+K on the diagnostic plug. Then turn on ignition and the ABS light will flash the code out starting with 1 flash then 2 flashes this is repeated 3 times then the fault code will be flashed out. Post results and we'll let you know the problem

#37

Looking at the faults codes it seems that 37 is the stop lamp switch(pedal switch).

my bad, i put pin a to k not a-b lol
done a-b now and its just comin up with the diagnostic start up

[cornishtaz]

ABS is deffo A+K not A+B

[PuppiesBalls]

Are your brake lights working ok? Will look at Haynes cct diag

[PuppiesBalls]

no rear lights in at the moment, would that stop the abs working?

[cornishtaz]

Wouldn't have thought so, its just a good way of testing the switch with out getting under the driver footwell

Do you mean the whole lights or just the brake lights are not working ?

[PuppiesBalls]

No lights at all mate, im just re spraying the car at the moment, so the lights are out, and yer they are after burners.

Its a problem with the ABS, it defiantly ain't working there locking up!

[cornishtaz]

When light is on ABS is disabled. Might be worth waiting till you've got car back together before continuing any fault finding
