Anti-skid service required message

Skemsley · Mar 15th, 2020, 15:45

Good afternoon all,

Apologies in advance as I feel I maybe asking a repeated problem.

I've just taken my dad's s40 1.6 2007. He's had it 10 years and due about the last 8 this message had been on with the triangle yellow warning light on the dash.

I've done a little research and believed the car needed a steering angle sensor. I've got, admittedly a second hand one, and put it in the car today. It has made no difference. Does this need resetting now I've fitted another? Any suggestions??

Many thanks for reading

Anti skid can be many things, needs diagnosing not guess work.

Yeah I know, unfortunately the diagnostic tests said there is nothing wrong with the system, hence now asking for suggestions.

it can be as simple as a faulty battery some places do a free check . but without a good fault finder you have no chance of checking the fault , i know delphi does a full system check on brakes and steering

I agree with the posts above, if you can get a scan of the car using VIDA/DICE it should show some error.

On my V50 AWD the other day it had the ABS Light + Anti Skid / Spin control error message come up. I scanned the car and it told me the right front wheel sensor (ABS) had a faulty signal. BCM-0020 was the code mine had.

It was well stuck but I replaced it and my error went away.

There are a number of reasons for this though, so what fixed it for me might not work for you, and without VIDA/DICE it would have been more $$ in parts and trial and error.
