service required - abs message error
 

Hello,
My name is Marcelo and it is my first participation in the forum. I´m from Macaé-RJ-BRAZIL, and I have a outlander 2008 - v6 GT -. Today while I was driving appear a message with this information: service required....abs error....asc error...I didn´t remember exact the message, but was something like a described up. After the message appear, the light turn on and off for 3 times and the car low force.
Immediatly I turn off the ASC and until now the message didn´t appear again.
Someone heard it before...
So, if someone can help me, I will be grateful.
** sorry for my poor english.

It could be any number of things...

If it happened suddenly and went away on it's own you may have had something caught in a wheel speed sensor.

If it's still there it may be a bad wheel speed sensor, broken wire, or could be any other number of problems with the braking system.

You should take it to a mechanic and have them scan for the codes so they can figure out what error the system is seeing, that will narrow down the problem and allow for it to be fixed.

Before checking ABS sensor check brake fluid reservoir sensor and its connector.

Thanks for your help.
In my city I have only one option: dealership mitsubishi=very expensive
Anyway, I will contact the dealership to pass a scanner and find the code.
I´ve just bought the new "brake pads" and will provide the new brake fluid too.
** as I told in the first thread, after this fact (message error-ABS) I turned off the ASC, and this morning before I start the engine I sow the message: slow down. I suppose that is because I turned off the ASC.
I´ll keep the community (forum) aware about the solutions.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, I´ll do it. Maybe it´s enough(I hope).
Do you know what kind of scanner I have to by to identify this error code?
There is some ilustrate to identify the position the ABS sensor? I would like to clean them too.
(I´d rather do than pay to dealership).
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Yesterday I Left my car at the dealership and request to do a electrical scanner to identify the code error.
After 10 minutes the result: C2100 – LOW VOLTAGE
So, I bought a new battery and until now the problem has stopped.
The next step will be change the brake fluid, pads brake and clean the sensors (ABS/SPEED).
I don´t know if the battery was responsible for both problems, but in case of doubt I will change the itens describle up to avoid any surprise.
Best regards,
Marcelo

Low battery can trigger errors in multiple ECUs, like ETACS, TCM, ABS.

I agree, wouldn't bother with that stuff unless it throws another code or you were due for that service before this started. Everything above were just guesses until you could get it scanned.

Your speed sensors are fine otherwise the scan would say which one it was.

Thanks for your answer. It was very helpful.
Yes, it was programed to change the fluid and padsbrake...it´s time to do it.
I agree with you and I won´t fix the sensors.
Rgds,

Marcelo
