Pretty much wondering if anyone else with a FG or FG Ute has seen this happen before and can point me in some things I can check out myself before going into ford or a mechanic to run a diagnotic on it to find the problem.. the hardest part is both of these faults seem to be all over the place and I cant really force them to come up to find the issue! Any help appreciated!Cheers,Chevz. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76867-abs-dsc-fault-random/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just depends on how much of a c*** the service bloke is. Although if it turns out to be a major issue then they will start looking at all sorts of ways to not repair your car under warranty.

I made another discovery that its somehow linked to the brake lights as my brake lights are every now and then not working when I brake!! and as soon as this happens, my ABS fault etc comes up. Off to ford today, will see what they find. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76867-abs-dsc-fault-random/#findComment-1140190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
