Post by bilbobagins_za »

Have ABS, STC and Brake Failure warning lights coming on at random intervals. Message on dash tells me to stop safely ASAP. Are these messages for real, brakes feel fine. Or is it just dirty sensors on the wheels?

Could be dirty sensors or the too-common cracked ABS board.

My dad's S80s computer is throwing the same message.
