whilst driving home last night the tc and abs lights came on the dash and wont go off, it was wet so decided to see if they were active or not, its safe to say they arnt on, no abs no tc.


Any ideas what this could be?

Fuse? (if both have gone at the same time) Or sensor for the abs. mind you if one abs sensor goes, it should only lock one wheel. This was my finding on the 318is
