I have finally got my car back together after rebuilding the front suspension. ( See thread on suspension bushes. ) Before I started working on the car I turned the battery off. Again I didn't turn the battery back on until the brakes had been bled and any disconnected wires reconnected. When I turned the ignition on and ran the engine the ABS and the MSP lights remained on. The MSP symbol on the dash has a line through it and the MSP switch is also illuminated. Finally the car is still on axle stands and I wondered if this could be the cause.
