'Brake Failure Stop Safely ASAP' Message S80 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be coopers on  Fri Mar 19 13:04 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I'm having my ABS control unit replaced in a few days for the same reasons. There is one possible safety issue: when the speedometer goes to zero, something mystical and magical happens that locks the transmission into "limp home mode" (3rd or 4th gear). Good luck trying to start from a stop on an incline. this will also be evident by the flashing yellow "up" arrow on the dashboard. After turning the car on and off a few times, the flashing yellow light might still be there, but the transmission will start behaving normally. Good luck.
