ABS Brakes

ABS Warning Light & Brake Electronics

Your ABS (anti-lock braking system) keeps your car stable and steerable under heavy braking. When the ABS or traction-control light comes on, the system has switched off — leaving you with ordinary brakes and a likely roadworthy failure.

ABS Warning Light & Brake Electronics

Randwick Auto Electrics diagnoses ABS and brake electronic faults across all makes, getting your safety systems back online.

ABS and traction faults we diagnose

  • Faulty wheel speed (ABS) sensors and damaged sensor wiring
  • ABS control module and pump faults
  • Traction control and stability (ESP/DSC) warnings
  • Brake light switch and pedal sensor problems
  • Steering angle and yaw sensor calibration
  • Corroded reluctor rings causing erratic readings

Diagnosis you can trust

We connect a professional scan tool to read live wheel-speed data and stored ABS codes, then test the suspect sensor and its wiring directly. This pinpoints whether it's the sensor, the wiring, or the module — so you only pay for the real fix.

Serving Randwick, Bondi, Coogee, Maroubra and the wider Eastern Suburbs, our team is ready to help. Get in touch or call 02 9398 7888 to book your car in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still drive with the ABS light on?

Your normal brakes still work, but anti-lock and traction control are disabled, which reduces control in an emergency stop or on wet roads. It will also fail a roadworthy, so have it checked soon.

What usually causes an ABS light?

By far the most common cause is a dirty or failed wheel speed sensor, often from road grime or a damaged sensor wire. We can confirm it quickly with a live data scan.

Do you reset ABS lights after repair?

Yes — once the fault is repaired we clear the codes and road-test the car to confirm the ABS and traction systems are fully operational again.
