In this interesting video, we see how to solve the error of the ABS light on the Polo 9N: before starting to investigate faulty wheel sensors, we see a common defect of this car, which could be the reason for the light turning on. It might be worth checking inside the battery box, where a small fuse box is located, wedged in the cover and connected to the large red wire that we can see coming from the positive pole.

These connections are particularly sensitive to vibrations, and in fact we can see that in this case a connection is broken; for a check we use a voltmeter or a test light, and we see that if on one side the current arrives, on the other it is completely absent.

We can find these fuse tapes for example on Amazon with the code B017XDJLY2 at the price of 5.39 + 6.23 euros for delivery. We replace it. We put the battery cover back in place and check that the light has turned off.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
