Skiddy car symbol 4WS/ASC light came on

Correct matey!!
 
Well sort of!  Its not a pad sensor but an abs sensor, All 4 wheels have one
 
 
The abs lamp will light when you have a fault with your abs system, It will very likely be a wheel sensor as they are a commen failure in weather like we are having.
 
Get it looked at mate as if you just leave it before long the abs will start activating all the time and the pump will eventually bun itself out.
 
Beside abs is a lifesaver in these icy conditions, Im sold with it ever since i managed to steer around a tractor stuck in the road last year when without abs i would have hanging out its rear end for sure.

Not exactly critical info, but I\'m pretty sure that the ABS light flashes when ABS is active.  If it is on and not flashing there is a fault.

The main issue with ABS sensors is that its a magnetic hall probe at the back of the wheel, brake dust can sometimes mess with this sensor, so it might be an idea just to blow some compressed air around the sensor to clean it, I had this issue in my FC, but being a Mazda, its fixed itself

Definately doesn\'t on mine!  I\'ve tested this out on many occasions :Giggle

ive never seen this light up on mine, could just be a dirty sensor

I\'ve seen this symbol quite a bit lately - especially when trying to get up an icey hill! :eek

mines been on since i bought the car, the red hazard light was on too and the previous owner said they were both on because of low fluid levels. when i changed the brake pads and topped the fluid up the hazard light went off but the skiddy symbol has remained on till this day??

sounds like there maybe a fault with your abs computer.
