Mk triton ABS light comes on after 22 minutes.

Any ideas , I can set my clock from the time I start the car to the time the ABS light comes on.

Turn car off and the time for the ABS light to come on is alway 22 minutes from startup.
It stay on permanently after that until car switched off.

Any ideas?

In the old days we'd just disconnect all that useless shit, but it would probably put you into 'limp mode' now.

Common guys , any ideas on a fix.
Took it to mechanic and computer said faulty brake switch.

Replaced switch , no difference.

What happens if, after the 22 minutes and the light coming on, you switch the car off and restart it?

Does the ABS light come on straight away or take another 22 minutes?

If it comes back on immediately then I'd start looking at heat soak issues, if it takes another 22 minutes then probably electrical/electronic - something like a capacitor discharging.

You need to get the fault code to try to track it down.

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?
