IVECO warning lights

[anonymous-user]

I wonder if anyone can shed ligt on this.

Iveco 75E17, 2002, low miles, used as a race truck, couple of thousand miles a year.

It drives really well but on odd occasions the ABS warning light comes on. 3 weeks ago, driving 130miles and back to Silverstone, it came on 3 times. Each time stop, switch off and on, and it goes out.

Back to Silverstone on Thursday all the way there no sign, the came on after about 100 miles on the way back. This time, just after that, the EDC light came on and the truck went into limp mode for a few seconds, as I slowed for a roundabout. A the next roundabout the EDC did the same thing again. The rest of the way home and today, no sign of it.

I have read that for Iveco EDC stands for Extremely Dodgy Circuitry and that these meaningless gremlins are quite common.

Any thoughts?

The ABS could be something simple like a wheel sensor or conection the EDC is engine ecu, maybe worth changing the filters and check wiring and conectors round the engine and look to see if water is getting into the cab electrics apart from that its a case of finding someone local who can plug it in ,hope that helps..

I drove one of those for a while , we called it the christmas tree as lights would come and go at will. the abs light was a favourite especially on damp mornings we doused it all in duck oil and it helped eventually we changed wheel sensors and they went away.

Ah memoiries, I used to use more electrical tape to cover the glowing lights at night than I did on the wires. Yeah I would start with the wheels sensors, youll be lucky to figure out what one it is with an intermitant fault though.

Thanks guys. It's going in for a check over and MOT this week so I will get them to have a look at the sensors etc.

Our one used to get the ABS light come on quite regular we eventually traced it back to a wire that had rubbed through on the chassis where it drops down onto the axle bit of electrical tape around the wire and a bit of foam glued to the chassis where it rubbed sorted it

ABS light is usally wheel sensors, sometimes taking them out and give a clean up and reset the air gap will sort, however you may have a faulty sensor they can be tested for Ohms with any multi meter, test across the 2 pins on the sensor lead to get a reading.

Not sue what the exact reading should be for your application but usally one will stand out and be very differnt to the other 3.

Also check the condition of the pusle rings they can get clogged or dirty.

EDC can be many things unless you have an obvious fault with the engine it will be hard to diagnose with out the correct tools.

I had a Eurostar for a while, when you were at traffic lights you had to keep the revs on, if you didn't the bottom of the door banged against the step and you couldn't hear the radio, first car/truck I ever saw with climate control, could have been a world beater but instead was a cheap and nasty bag of st.

Been MOT'd now no fault codes showing, neither warning light has shown again.

Oh well....
