ABS light on 190E 2.6

[michael1234]

Hi,

I need some advice. The ABS light on the dashboard on my 1989 Mercedes 190E 2.6 keeps turning on and off intermittantly . The brakes seem to be working properly and the user manual states that if the ABS is defective the ABS light will remain permanantly on.

If anyone has had a similar problem, have you found the cause of it?

Hi, I've had a similar problem on my 2.5-16 but a but more complex... mine seemed to be related to the ASD unit and I'm still trying to get to the bottom of it but I'm told that the ABS unit is power power sensitive so to check your battery and also there is a fuse (Blade Type) that is in a unit behind the battery under the bonnet... check that too.

It may just be a dirty ABS sensor. Buy some brake parts cleaner and give them a good spray and see if that works.
