I will try to keep this short, recently i replaced 2 of the parking sensors and stupidly allowed the battery to go flat. I then had an error message about the park brake until I read the manual and followed the correct procedure. All seemed well then until my wife drove the car and the ABS light came on as soon as the ignition light had settled and before the engine was started. When the engine was started ABS fault came up and Sid control unavailable.
I then decided to look at the rear wheel sensors, all look clean and undamaged but now I have a gearbox fault and it will only change up to 2nd gear! Any suggestions welcome.

 

Charge battery fully or replace with a new one.

 

+1 make sure the battery is 100% before going further.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, battery is fine, it only went flat cos I left the keys in the ignition, my fault!

 

It may be fine but is it fully charged?

 

HARD RESET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the hard reset does not fix the shifting problem I would check the shifter cable adjustment.

Norri, what I omitted from my short story was that I drove 25 miles to an independent jag man who deleted all faults showing, (ABS and low voltage) but as soon as I turned on the ignition, before even starting the engine the ABS light came on again!
Bob, How do I do a hard reset? Do i need a plugin tool?
Also can you throw any light on where or why does a load of steam emit from under the engine bay near the N/S front wheel? This has happened a couple of times within a few minutes of starting from cold.

 

On my TomTom I can do a hard reset with a paper clip, I don't expect its that easy on the car?

 

Use Search

It more or less is.

Steam or smoke? It could be the Webasto heater if it was a cold morning.

 

Yes it was cold, it was steam although smelt a little fumy.
Is this a standard fitment?

 

It's in the handbook. Or via Search, I expect. Even more details on the UK site.

 

I have put the battery on charge (just in case) and will try the Hard reset tonight. Cross fingers.

 

I wonder if it going flat has in effect reset the (Webasto) fuel burning heater (FBH, aka FFH F=fired).

 

It beats me, I think its all witchcraft!

 

On the UK forum, Victor would probably agree!!
