ABS Light On after starting engine

Post by Russf »

Does anyone know why the ABS light comes on after starting engine and up to 20miles/hr the ABS brakes stutters. When pressing the brake slightly it is vibrating a lot. Then after 20 miles/hr it would be fine however, the ABS light is still on.

What year model ?

On the 96 850 there is a recall on the ABS EBD switch located on the brake master cylinder. Also, on that same year there are problems with the grounds under the fuse cabin by the cowel.

Sounds a bit like a combination of a ABS system check, at I think 15mph (normal procedure), and a bad ABS unit (setting the light).
