Strange ABS trigger after startup but perfect otherwise
Hey all
I've realised that when I start the car... 5 seconds after driving out of the driveway the ABS triggers and makes its very faint humming sound that it does when you mash the brakes in emergency except I'm just driving out of the driveway. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing because i've actually recently tested the ABS out in the wet to make sure the ABS is correctly working and it is I'm just trying to find out why it does this or even if it's actually a bad thing or not. Getting no ABS light or anything bad Does anyone elses SVX do the same thing?? Can someone please tell me what is or means? thanks in advance, Jordan |

Re: Strange ABS trigger after startup but perfect otherwise
No need to worry - that is the ABS system performing its normal self test.
The ABS relays will cycle when you first exceed a speed of 10km/h after the engine is started. Jason.
