Default “ABS FAULT” Has anyone received this warning light??

I can’t believe I’m the only one receiving these warning lights, all pointing to a brake problem. My ABS does NOT work. Several other warning messages all relating to BRAKE problem.

Can anyone shed some light on this situation???

Got any codes? Difficult to diagnose with the information you've provided.

I have had an ABS fault warning in two other cars over the years and both times it was a wheel speed sensor/connector that was bad.

Hello SVALBARD...seems to be a ABS sensor failure... Check for wiring dammage at wheels sensors.

While damage to wheel sensors is common (road debris/corroded connectors) it is not always the case.

I know that other older XKs could suffer from that type of ABS fault...so does my other sports car with a Kelsey Hayes ABS controller (which apparently is a result of bad solder joints in the control unit). On our friends' XK8 cleaning and de-oxidizing the plugs to the engine bay controller made the issue go away for a while, but the fault eventually came back.

As @scm mentioned, the first step is always to determine what ABS codes are being set...go from there.
