ABS Warning Light

dts1 · 2010-12-21 23:54:32

Started to appear on my Ford Mondeo Ghia this evening. Have been driving ok in the bad conditions up to now but got 2 scary skids now that the ABS appears to be gone on me ? Is it possible the sensors might be just frozen (read somewhere else about this possibility) ? Anything I can do to rectify in the interim to get me…

Not looking forward to driving to work in the morning !

they could be dirty, normally 2 screws holding the sensor behind brake disc, pop out and clean!
