Well i plugged the TC switch in and yes its no better 😪😪
The fact the ABS light is off would sudgest the speed sensor is working.
Any hints on what to check next ? ABS controller ? ECU? Stack unit ?

Go backwards - not literally.

Can you set everything back up how it was last working?

Call a dealer or specialist. There was a reset process that involved the door opened (really) and turning the key to pos I or II and pressing the milage reset button or something similar. That reset the ecu settings AFAIR.

Thankyou to all the help and advice, i have finally found the issue after a few nights of checking and tracing wires.
It turned out the fuse box, fuse holder had corroded up so only 11.6 Volts getting to the ABS unit. Once replaced the terminals all is now well.
Thanks again no can of petrol needed.

Great work, annoying issue but no harm done in the end. Result :thumbup:

It's funny how taking a car apart and rebuilding can uncover these types of issue.
