ABS warning light and speedometer problem on an Opel Astra
Hello everyone, I own a 2001 Opel Astra with a gasoline engine and 125,000 km on the odometer. I've noticed that the ABS warning light sometimes comes on, and when it's on, the speedometer stops working. As soon as the light goes out, the speedometer works normally again. I wonder if this could be related to the ABS control unit or a faulty sensor. Has anyone ever encountered this problem or have any advice on how to solve it? Thanks in advance for your help!

Start by checking the wheel speed sensors, as a faulty sensor can cause both the ABS light to come on and the speedometer to stop working. Inspect the sensors and their wiring for any visible damage or dirt. Clean them if necessary and ensure they are properly connected. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
