I would get the car on to the computer to check the fault codes I had the abs and brake wear warning light come on mine it turned out to be water ingress on the wires and I ended up having to remove about three feet of wiring from the left handside from the brake pad wear wire and abs speed sensor wire once the wires were replaced the lights went out. I would check that as it is a fairly common fault and relatively easy to fix if time consuming.

Lights came back on so i took it to a garage my mate works at and it came up with 2 codes

The first 1: 001201 abs pump voltage supply fuse 5531201
The 2nd 1: 000301 abs return flow pump (v39) 0301

We checked all the fuses and there was no problem with any of them, so he typed in the codes onto a computer and absolutley nothing came up (didnt reconise the codes). Does anyone know of these codes or got any ideas

I havent touched the brakes yet because i thought it was a wireing problem instead of a micanical one.

You can see through the wheel and see the brake pads they have all got lots of meet on them so i dont think it is the pads.
I got told by my mate that there is a plastic box thing that has wires running out of it to the calliper, he said check that to see if there is any sign of damp in it.

But the lights are on one minuit and all of a sudden turn off and this keeps repeating itself, so it is making me wonder if it is a fauty sensor. All the manual sais is get the car to a gaurage???
