ABS light on All TOD lights off?

[Rene M]

Forget the codes - you probably blew the ToD system fuse under the hood. Behind the battery (meaning, toward the firewall from the battery) is a fuse box. Check the fuses there.

I had the EXACT same symptoms earlier this year when a wiring harness under the car broke and the ToD system wires were resting on the catalytic converter - the insulation melted and the wires shorted, blowing the fuse. I had no ToD lights at all and a steady ABS warning light on.

Do yourself a favor next time, Rene - try to search before posting. If you had, you would have found this out the same day, not a week later.

I don't mean to pick on you for not searching (that's Ldub's gig!) but we all need a periodic reminder that most of the problems any of us will see have been experienced and posted by someone else already.

Perhaps it would be best for you to read the thread before you add your opinion.
If you had you would read that all fuses are fine, there are no codes or even communication with either the ecu for the abs or the tod system.
The wire harness was all ready checked long ago etc.
So, in short... read before taking a shot at someone. I find your comments quite offensive and they seem to point to an assumption that i am new at this.

Sorry to upset you with my preachiness about using the search function, Rene. Since you are not new to forums, you have no doubt noticed that sometimes an unintentional tone sometimes shows up in a member's post - one that they didn't put there on purpose when they wrote it but somehow showed up when they read it.

Anyway, I was just trying to help you solve your problem, which mirrored the one I recently had in every detail. I did in fact read the thread a couple of times before posting, actually. Since most people (myself included) are initially unaware that there is a second fuse box in the engine bay, I went ahead and second-guessed the intimacy of your knowledge of the complex electrical systems in the VX and made a suggestion that was intended to help.

And that suggestion could help even if you knew about the engine bay fuse box and checked the ToD system fuse - the symptoms you described are indicative of a lack of power supply to the ToD controller, so if it isn't the fuse, then it could be the wires. Sorry if that counts as cause for offense.

I'll keep any further helpful suggestions to myself, in the interest of friendly forum relations...
