What to do when the ABS light is on in a Bora?

[MacLiam]

Check if there is any loose or disconnected wiring in the sensor harness. If not, the issue might be with the ABS pump. In most cases, firmly pressing the brake pedal a few times will turn off the ABS light. If the light remains on, inspect whether the ABS sensors on all four wheels are blocked by mud or water. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and use a fault diagnostic tool to test the illumination and extinguishing of all indicator lights on the instrument cluster.

Last year while commuting in my Bora, the ABS light suddenly came on. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but I noticed some unusual noises when braking. I thought it might be due to dust on the wheel speed sensor or a blown fuse, as the ABS light comes on when it detects a signal fault. I pulled over and checked the fuse box, and sure enough, one fuse was blown. After replacing it, the light went off. If the check doesn't resolve the issue, it's best to visit a professional shop for diagnosis as soon as possible to avoid ABS failure leading to brake lock-up, especially in rainy or snowy conditions where the risk is higher. Later, I learned that regularly washing the car and cleaning the sensor areas can prevent this problem. Don't delay—safety first.
