Have the wiring checked nevertheless, could be a loose connection as well.

Vasanth, there are different types of ways the ABS light can come on. You have to tell us which one it is specifically, because diagnosis depends on that.

1. Does the light come on immediately after you start the car and doesn't go off?
2. The light comes on after you start the engine, then goes out like it should. After you drive for a while it comes on again and stays on?
3. Or does the light keep coming on and going off periodically?

Hi Rahul,
Right now at the concorde service center on mysore road.

here are the sequence of how the light is on

Insert the key and turn to MAR position..
All light on the console switch ON and everything goes OFF except the ABS and Hand Brake ( remember i always use the handbrake when the car is stationary.
On the console it says ABS is unavailable, see the handbook for more details.
In the handbook, it says show it to the TASC

If all the lights go off but the ABS light stays on, mostly it could be the surge arrester relay. Do keep us posted what TASC has to say.

just back from the TASC.. The mechanic said it was a loose connection at the left rear wheel and he has fixed it. Now everything is back to normal.

Good to know that it was a just a loose connection rather than a total failure, but the question still remains that how can it have a loose connection?

Could be from factory itself, showing up now. I know someone whose brand new Punto speedo was not working due to a loose connection.

Or could've been introduced during a service.

Puntos and Lineas are known to have niggles.

My car has run 9654 as of today and yet to go for service.. have another 5500 kms before i hit the TASC for the 1st servi ce..

I am doubtful if these things could be introduced during a service..
