The trak fail and Anti lock warning lights come on once I'm moving at around 15mph. and stay on. Any suggestions as to what to check and how serious is it to run as it is for a while? Thanks for any advice. the sage View Public Profile Find all posts by the sage Add the sage to Your Buddy List   #2   09-04-2006, 07:04 PM the sage Junior Member   Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 3 Trak Fail On Sun, 03 Sep 2006 14:59:06 -0700, the sage <Tsimba_Varti@hotmail.com> wrote: Quote: I have a 1969 XJ6 Vanden Plas.The trak fail and Anti lock warning lights come on once I'm moving ataround 15mph. and stay on.Any suggestions as to what to check and how serious is it to run as itis for a while?Thanks for any advice. oops, Dyslexia rules ko - I meant 1996 :-) the sage View Public Profile Find all posts by the sage Add the sage to Your Buddy List   #3   09-04-2006, 09:54 PM Steve Swift Junior Member   Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 3 Trak Fail I had the same symptoms on my 1999 Honda Legend (Accura for those in the States, I think) and it was a wheel rotation speed sensor. I was 99% certain that this was the problem as the wheel sensors are about the only component common to traction control and ABS. I'm pretty sure this is your problem as well. As to how dangerous it is, how happy are you driving without ABS and Traction control. The traction control you can manage without just fine, by being careful with your right foot, but you may regret the ABS under the wrong set of circumstances. Having said that, I drove for 30 years without ABS and without major problems. -- Steve Swift http://www.ringers.org.uk Steve Swift View Public Profile Find all posts by Steve Swift Add Steve Swift to Your Buddy List « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Search this Thread Show Printable Version Email this Page Search this Thread: Advanced Search Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts vB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Forum Jump Please select one User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home -------------------- Cars Lounge     General     Acura     Alfa Romeo     Audi     BMW     Dodge     Ferrari     Fiat     Ford         Ford Explorer         Ford Falcon         Ford Festiva         Ford Flathead         Ford Focus         Ford Mustang     GM         GM Cadillac         GM Cadillac Deville         GM Camaro         GM Camaro Firebird         GM Chevy Malibu         GM Corvette         GM Fiero         GM Oldsmobile         GM Pontiac     Honda     Hyundai     Infiniti     Isuzu     Jaguar     Kia     Lexus     Mercedes Benz     Mini     Mitsubishi     Nissan     Peugeot     Porsche         Porsche 911         Porsche 928         Porsche 944     Rolls Royce     Saab     Subaru     Toyota         Toyota Camry         Toyota MR2         Toyota Prius     Volkswagen         Volkswagen Beetle     Volvo All times are GMT -8.
