Had my Stilo need some minor repairs for an MOT. My friend is quite a handy mechanic so did the business. He said that there was a a wire that needed clipping and re-soldering near the back brakes when he was replacing a bush but ever since then I am getting warning messages on the dash saying that the ASR/ABS/EBD has failed. Is there a posibility that a cable has gone aomewhere? Could it be because the battery was disconnected?


Help needed fairly urgently as the re-test is due next week and I dont think It will pass the MOT with the warning lights on

Too suspicious

Sounds like the handy mechanic has broken/affected the abs sensor or its wiring

defo sounds like he broken the connection, rule of thumb "dont touch stilo electrics unless you know for certain what your doin" and you have messed with stilo's before.

a technician at my garage wouldnt take the dash out to stop the rattle coz he was affraid of disturbing the wiring

Thanks for the help guys. Its booked into an auto electrician tomorrow so ill let you know how it goes

thats what happened to mine, replaced rear stub axle and cut the abs sensor.

Need a new wire & sensor.
