ABS, Airbag & Safety System Warning Lights
ABS, Airbag & Dashboard Warning Light Diagnosis in Shepperton
If an ABS, airbag (SRS), ESP or traction control warning light has appeared on your dashboard, your vehicle has detected a fault within a safety system.
At Walton Bridge Garage Ltd in Shepperton, we carry out professional diagnosis of safety-related warning lights using structured testing and live data analysis.
We identify the root cause before recommending repairs.
ABS Warning Light Diagnosis
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps prevent wheel lock-up under braking.
Common causes of ABS warning lights include:
- Wheel speed sensor faults
- Damaged reluctor rings
- ABS module faults
- Wiring or connector issues
- Low voltage or battery-related faults
An illuminated ABS light may reduce braking assistance features and should be inspected promptly.
ESP / Traction Control Warning Lights
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and traction control systems assist with vehicle stability during cornering and slippery conditions.
Warning lights may be caused by:
- Steering angle sensor faults
- Wheel speed sensor faults
- Yaw rate sensor issues
- ABS-related faults
- Brake pressure sensor faults
These systems are often linked, so accurate diagnosis is essential.
Airbag (SRS) Warning Light
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) controls airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners.
Common causes of airbag warning lights include:
- Seat wiring or connector faults
- Clock spring faults in the steering column
- Crash sensor faults
- Low voltage or battery replacement issues
An illuminated airbag light may indicate that airbags are disabled until the fault is resolved.
Our Diagnostic Process
When diagnosing ABS, ESP or airbag warning lights, we:
- Read and interpret stored fault codes
- Analyse live sensor data
- Test affected components where required
- Check wiring integrity and system voltage
- Confirm the fault before advising repair
We test systems thoroughly rather than replacing parts based solely on fault codes.

Multiple Warning Lights After Battery Replacement?
Modern vehicles are sensitive to voltage changes. Low battery voltage or recent battery replacement can trigger multiple warning lights including ABS, ESP and airbag systems.
We can check battery condition and system voltage as part of our diagnostic process.
