Abs not fitted or inoperative.

This was one of the failures on my mot. What will be causing this, a faulty sensor? Mk6 transit 2.4. Thanks.

Did your vehicle have it fitted from build?

It shouldn't be a failure if it never had it. It will be a failure if it came fitted from build.

Does it have an ABS pump/module in the engine bay..?? Follow brake lines from master cyl and see if they go into an aluminium block with several other lines.

Should look similar to this..:

ABS not fitted is not an MOT failure...

In fact the testing manual says you are allowed to remove it (as long as all parts of the ABS system are removed)

If it doesn't have ABS, won't it have a LAV in the rear hydraulic pipework :?:
