Legend. Thank you.

Table update and test resistances added.

So, I solved my 'ABS light on' fault. After trying some of the common fixes that some of you guys recommended and failing I decided to make myself a text light (see pic) and read the fault code flashes. I connected my tester to the 3 pin ABS connector on the N/S front strut (see pic) It was outputting fault code '22'. This pointed to one of the inlet valves not working correctly. I then did a resistance check at the ABS CM connector and had the same resistance on all but one inlet valve. The fault ended up being a broken wire within the 7 way connector on the inlet valve block. I repaired this and the light simply went out.

Thanks to those who supplied me the diagrams and help to solve this. It was a simple fix once I had the correct data.

Always nice when it turns out to be an easy fix.

Great news, well done.

Is it just a led in the box ? I made a copy of the engine fault code reader ones, would be nice to have one for abs aswell

yes, just an LED & a resistor in a box and some of the correct crimps on the other end.

You should build it into the engine monitor, with possibility to read engine and abs fault codes

The ABS fault codes should flash up on the dash abs light, exception being a fault such as broken power feed. Then a diode has to be unplugged to see any abs cm faults on a tester.

It should be like that, but it isn`t
