ABS Code 14

Post by **Gayno** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 4:06 pm

Away for the weekend in North Wales (not sure why that's relevant!!) and car has thrown code 14 on the abs which on the chart is "pressure switch".

Can someone elaborate on this and if it's a big/major job to sort?

Also on a side note, but both rad fans are coming on with the ignition, even though the car has been sat for an hour. Any ideas?!

electrical short sounds like they are getting a live feed 24/7 which could also be your abs fault

Both fans is definitely cooling related, rather than air con (that only puts one side on).

Try unplugging the temperature switch on the side of the head and see if that stops the fans. If so, the switch is faulty. If not, there's a fault elsewhere in the circuit... What wiring set up did your car end up with? Jdm or ukdm? (makes a difference cause there's an extra box of tricks that's fan control related on ukdm's)

Don't know about abs code 14, but I'm sure the manual will tell all...

JDM (pre-facelift) engine + wiring.

So no box of tricks by the main ecu then

Can confirm that the fans turn off if aircon/climate control is turned off. I don't use it all that often so that's why I hadn't noticed them on before.

Still have the ABS fault code though!

Right, this code has reared it's head again on the way to JAE.

Can't for the life of me remember what I did last time to fix it though!!

Battery reset cleared the code and all is fine.

Just noting this here for future reference if it happens again, I know how to fix it

Seriously!! Forgot I'd had the code before, and when I Googled it, this thread was result number 1 - but had no solution!!
