Captur ABS Light Traction Problems

ABS light keeps coming on in my 2023 Renault Captur hybrid, and I'm getting some traction problems. It feels like the ABS system is failing intermittently. Mileage is at 234529 km. Any thoughts?

Sounds familiar! I had something like that happen with my old Peugeot 308. ABS and traction control going haywire. Check your wheel speed sensors, especially the input from the transmission. Could be a faulty sensor messing with the control unit.

Thanks for the quick reply! Where exactly are those sensors located? And how would I check them? Is it something I can do myself, or should I just take it to a shop?

Well, on my 308, they were near the wheel hubs, but I'm not sure about the Captur. Honestly, with ABS issues and seeing that warning light, it's probably best to get it checked by a mechanic. It ended up being a defective control unit in my case. Saved myself a headache by just taking it in.

Appreciate the advice! I'll book it in for a diagnostic check. The shop is telling me the control unit is defective, just like you said. Repair is gonna set me back around 1000€, but at least it will be fixed.
