    Check the fuse, probably blown.

    Start by checking the brake fluid.

    Then use the diagnostic procedure from the Service Manual.

    sensors are plugged in.

    Have a look in the service manual

    Try the diagnostics in the Service Manual, like I said earlier.

    i had the same problem, and to fix it i checked and clean the two little plugs in the sides of the engine bay, there ones that sit between the inside of the wheel well and the engine,

    i dont know if i mentioned this before but when i press the brake pedal i can hear a sort of clicking as the calliper grabs the brake rotor
    can this be linked with abs malfunctioning??

    also IB i tried reading the service manual
    im a little confused as to where the flashing LED is located? could u please point me in the right direction
    thanks guys
