ABS light 2001 XK8

My ABS light came on a couple days ago and stayed on with a trac not working fault showing. It eventually went out and did not come back on until today when I was parking the car for the night. Has anyone had this issue before?

There's all kind of information about it. Try cleaning your wheel sensors first. Rev Sam has info on this procedure under the sticky's

"Had them cleaned"? I hope whoever did it actually removed them and cleaned them. I can easily see a tire place just spraying them with brake cleaner without even removing them.

Hey Sam, the guy did remove and clean them.

H20, The garage did not have a force balance machine but it seems that the regular balance worked.

Today was also the first day I drove her with the radio off. I had no idea how pretty she sings. What a sexy voice she has.
