Problems with ABS warning light and broken brake light on Peugeot Traveller 2021 - experience and solutions wanted

Brake light not working

ABS warning light

Hey guys, my Peugeot Traveller, year of manufacture 2021, has a snag. Has anyone ever had the problem with the ABS warning light and a broken brake light? I was wondering if the brake light switch could be to blame. I'd need some tips on narrowing down the fault and would like to know how you had it fixed in the workshop. What was your experience? Thanks in advance!

Hi, like you, I also had such a headache with my 2019 Peugeot Boxer. I would say that I have a little experience with cars as I like to deal with them. My garage replaced the control unit. The thing was faulty and cost me a chunk of money, about 1000 euros. I would recommend that you check the control unit and replace it if necessary, if you haven't already done so. How did this actually start for you? And has the fault ever been visible in the fault memory? With a little more information, I might be able to help you better. Greetings

Hi, thanks for your advice! In my case, the warning light simply came on while I was driving - without any warning, so to speak. I haven't had the fault memory read out yet, but I should probably do that sometime. The problem with the control unit sounds really annoying and expensive. I hope it doesn't get that far for me. With 134017 kilometers on the odometer, I didn't really expect such major problems. Up to now, I've always had the car checked regularly at the garage, and everything was still in order at the last inspection. I'm curious to see what comes out of the fault diagnosis. I'll keep you up to date! Greetings back!

Hi, I can really understand your worries. With problems like this, you're always at a loss at first. If the ABS light suddenly came on, then it's probably an electrical problem. In my Boxer, the control unit was faulty, but that doesn't mean that's the case with you. In any case, I would also recommend having the fault memory read out. Then you'll at least have a clue. You could also check the fuse box, perhaps a fuse has blown and is causing the trouble. And about the brake light switch: Well, that wasn't the problem for me, but you could check whether it's working properly. In my experience, the simplest solutions are often overlooked. Well, I hope I was able to help you a little. Keep us up to date with the results of your troubleshooting. All the best and good luck with your troubleshooting! Greetings

Hey, thanks for your detailed reply and the helpful tips! I will definitely have the fault memory read out at the garage and check the fuse box. There could well be something wrong. Regarding the brake light switch: I'll take a closer look. Maybe I'm lucky and it's just that. I'm really glad about the support here. It makes things a bit easier. I'll let you know what comes out of the troubleshooting. See you then and best regards!

Hello Carly Team, the brake light switch must have been a sporatic error, the brake light switch is OK and the brake light works. Mfg
