Red flashing Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? Vw rabbit 2007 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Rabbit yourself? What have you tried so far?

Have you scanned for fault codes yet?

I dont have a code reader.
Automotive Expert
The ABS and epc and brake warning lights comes on when the on-board computer detects a fault in abs or stabil trac system and a fault code is set and stored in the computer. Faults that can set the check engine light can range from a speed sensor a leak, a sensor low engine compression, faulty tone ring or other sensors or hydraulic pressure , open/short in wiring harness, system leak, or one of over a hundred different reasons. The only way to know what set a fault code and turned the light on is to have a diagnostic scanner hooked up to the on-board computer and read it for stored diagnostic fault codes. if you do not have a scan tool then you will have to take it to a shop and pay to have the computer read for stored fault codes. Without knowing the fault codes numbers, it would be irresponsible to guess as to the cause as there are hundreds of possible causes if you provide me a diagnostic code we can narrow down the cause of failure

Ok, thank you for your help.
