ABS/power steering

[Naraic]

Twice now, the ABS warning light has come on.

Once last night in very wet weather, and again this morning in very wet weather.

When I started out this morning the ABS light did not come on until a few minutes into my journey, and several very deep puddles and small floods.

At the same time the power steering gets noticeably heavier.
I thought it was just my imagination but after a brief stop when the ABS light did not come back on, the steering was back to normal.

The question is...is there a link of any kind between the ABS and the steering? I believe my car has parameter steering which is an additional electric assistance to the rack.

power steering is usually speed sensitive & the ABS wheel sensors will ultimately provide that speed signal. If you've a u/s ABS sensor the power steering won't know how fast you're going.

I've been able to read the codes. It is likely the YAW sensor. Thanks for your reply.
