hi all

here we go again more problems, my ABS/TRACS problem started about a week ago, first symptom was high pitched squeel from rear brakes then yesterday while sat waiting to pick the MRS up from work, engine running in neutral with handbrake on so car wasnt moving got the sound as if ABS/TRACS was operating did this 5 times then nothing no lights light up, went to work this morning all fine, got back into the car we decided to call in at KFC to get our tea when all of a sudden the ABS, TRACS and ETS light all light up at the same time, got home no issues pulled the codes and only code in pending was P1550 "charge pressure deviation" no codes for ABS/TRACS altho i dont think my scanner reads these systems.

I have read the post about repairing the ABS/TRACS unit

HELP

cheers

Simon

P1xxx codes are manufacturer specific.

P1550 for your car means, speed signal missing at the engine ECU.

The speed signal comes from the ABS unit which is faulty.

Have a search for DIY ABS module repairs on this forum.

I got one in a cheap set (£15) from screwfix, sorry I don't know where you can buy a single one off the shelf. Halfords do a set but it starts at E6.
