ABS unavailable MSP unavailable ASR unavailable - Go to dealer

Definitely no more than 12 months warranty on the bearing unless you've got a Maserati warranty.

Cheaper here. See screenshot. They are all grey imports. It doesn't matter where you buy it, so amazon, ebay, website, etc. Just buy the cheapest one from a marketplace you normally use.

Ordered folks. Hopefully easy to get started. Ive never hooked diag up before, does car need to be running or just ignition on?
 
Folks,

Out in the car yesterday and after a few hours pottering about I nipped out for petrol later on and got a park off on the drive, filled with fuel and when I went to start the car got the ABS/ASR/MSR warning yo then it settled on the ABS not available.

Ignition off back on and cleared. Just been out in the car again and all fine.

I had this back in 2020 and it was an ABS sensor so I’m going to throw it into the garage for a diagnostic check.

Question for you all what’s the situation these days with wheel bearing availability? They readily available again as they went out of stock last year wasn’t it?

My air con is also non existent as well, no cold air. My understanding is that as long as you have gas present no matter how old that it should really work to some degree? Wondering if the compressor has gone belly up.

Cheers

Air con. If its low on gas it wont work. Low pressure switch would trigger and cut the air con off.

If you have somebody stood at the front of the car while it is running and switch the aircon on and off slowly you can listen for the click of the clutch engaging on the compressor.

Abs sensors self check on start up. Once the car is moving above 15 to 20 mph if it detects a fault the abs and associated lights will come on. Has your battery run low ? A few short journeys in quick sucession and a aged battery can also trigger it.

Check the voltage on your battery first at rest and under load or charge your battery and see if it comes back. If it doesnt dont worry till it does. If it does have your battery checked.

Cheers Spenny, I’ll get a mobile air con guy I’ve used before to come and regass see if that’s all it needs.

For the ABS I replaced the battery end of last year, car doesn’t get used that much but I put a full charge on it a few days ago and had a full charge indicating on the CTEK

I’ll check the voltage levels tomorrow and will report back.
 
Gents,

Just checked the battery, as follows:

12.43 initial reading
12.29 After lights on for 1 min to drain
No dip on start (wife was driving the multimeter lol)
14.4 when running
12.7 after engine off
12.36 After lights on for 1 min to drain

So not the greatest but not dead?

Last week I:

Fully charged on CTEK Thursday.

Drove plenty Friday, had the fault come up late on as per first post

This battery was only fitted end of last year but I’m not driving the car loads I usually go 2-3 weeks before charging.

I’m gonna try the CTEK recon see what that does.

Air Con being recharged 9am in the morning.

Welcome any feedback on this ABS/ASR/MSR fault indication as per above.

I’m guessing recon battery and monitor. If I see it again get it into garage for a code read and ABS sensor check?
 
Just get yourself an Autel AP200 and scan it yourself.
It will probably be cheaper than going to a garage and pay a guy to scan it, plus once you got the tool you can scan it anytime you want and reset fault codes yourself.

It's a no brainer, really, I think these things are like 60quid in the UK and they work great, I use mine all the time. That's actually how I solved my issue about the ABS not working (in my case it was a defective ABS computer).

Can I get data from the ABS etc on the Autel?

I’ll get one ordered up now anyway

Yes of course, as I said that is how I solved my ABS issue. The Autel scanner told me it was a problem with the brake pressure sensor, then after a bit of investigation it turned out to be one of the tiny wires inside the ABS coomputer that was desoldered from the electronic circuit. And that was indeed one of the wires coming from the pressure brake sensor.

If you're interested you can have a read at my rebuild thread, here is the part where I was trying to fix this thing:https://www.sportsmaserati.com/inde...with-a-2009-quattroporte-s.39676/post-1080637

Take it this is correct and you don’t have to select a manufacturer? Same unit for all cars?

You select the manufacturer in the app, you get one brand for free with no time limit, so that's pretty neat.
You can then purchase other brands if you want and use this dongle for all the cars. So far I've tried it on Maserati (quattroporte and 4200CC) and Peugeot.
