RE: No ABS, BAS, ESP

oskar - 3/13/2018 12:00 PM did you figure what was causing your intermittend ESP/BAS issue? I am casing a similar one

Check the sensor wiring.  One of mine had rubbed against a metal part and would occasionally short out.

Re: No ABS, BAS, ESP

hello together, I also think of the brake pedal switch as karl.
Attention when measuring, ?I believe it is an opener, not a closer?
or of course an abs sensor.

Re: No ABS, BAS, ESP

Mario,

The switch has two different contacts.  One that opens when the pedal is pressed and one that closes when the pedal is pressed.  Remember that the assembly works backwards from what you think: when the pedal is pressed, the button on the switch goes out, and when you let go of the pedal the button is pressed in again.  I can't remember which of the two internal contacts fails, but they fail pretty regularly.

 

...Alan

Re: No ABS, BAS, ESP


Ok, I thought it was just an opener. but both are possible to check, right?
thank alan
Last year I had the same situation with my 202. I did not find the mistake. After 5 months it has repaired itself. Good look
