Technical Esc light

[Wingnutt]

Hi there,
I just changed the rear discs on my 2014 panda 4x4. A bastard of a job but thanks to this forum, the advice was great and all went well. But now the esc and abs light is on the dash and the hill holding has stopped. Is this simply a disturbed sensor and just needs a reset or could this be more of an issue?
Thanks in advance

I did my rear discs a few weeks ago and yes it is b/stard of a job I didn't have that problem I didn't disconnect my abs sensors, but if it was fine before you did it then I should imagine that it would be one of the sensors probably a bad connector might need a clean up

Do you have access to the error codes? should hint at which wheel

Thanks for the advice, bad connector is a good shout

I don't have the error codes, but thanks for the advice

That's where my 1st port of call would be as if it wasn't playing up before seeing as you may have disturbed one then take the connectors apart and clean them also check where they fit the hub as you might have broke one which is easy to do, when i did mine I unclipped the wires from the subframe so there was a bit of extra play in them when I moved the hubs over to take the carrier bolts out

When I did the rears on my grand vitara a weepy brake pipe caused an esc fault long shot but worth a look see if a pipes leaking abs 1st check tho it will be something simple though I'm sure

Nah, try low battery volts first. Those errors are very typical (unless of course you did damage an ABS sensor??) Give the battery a charge.

Classic signs of failing battery. See several other posts with same lights (probably at least one at bottom of this page under ‘similar threads’) - all cured by battery replacement.
