Hi all, I ve posted before about the ABS/TCS warning lights on my cossie. I ve had the rear sensors checked, changed the rear disks and pads which were low but the lights are still on. My friendly local mechanic took it too another garage to have the fault codes read, they tried but could nt do it. They said the car wont do a self test and they cant read the computer & its asking for an 8 digit code, they also said they had problems because of the age of the car . Anyone have any ideas, I just want to get the codes read and the problems sorted for its MOT.

If the lights are on its doing a self test.
