Twingo ABS speed signal fault

My 2010 Renault Twingo (gasoline engine) is throwing up a speed signal fault. The ABS lamp is constantly lit, traction control is all over the place, and basically the whole ABS system is kaput. Odometer's still clocking miles, so the input to the ECU seems okay. I'm leaning towards a defective control unit. Anyone seen this before?

A 2010 Renault Twingo is experiencing a speed signal fault, with the ABS lamp constantly lit and traction control malfunctioning, indicating a potential issue with the ABS system. Despite the odometer functioning correctly, the problem may lie in a defective ABS control unit. A similar issue in another vehicle was resolved by replacing the ABS module, suggesting that a professional diagnosis and repair at a workshop is advisable.

Sounds familiar! Had similar gremlins in my old Peugeot 207. Speedo was fine, but ABS was having a party. In my case it was the ABS module playing up.

Interesting. Was the fix straightforward? Any chance it was a sensor issue rather than the module itself?

Nah, sensors were fine on mine. Garage confirmed it was the module. Bit like a dodgy hard drive in a computer, the brain of the system goes haywire. Best get it checked out properly at a workshop to be sure, though.

Appreciated. Garage has confirmed it's the ABS control unit. Quoted 1000€ for repair/replacement. Ouch.
