Hey Fred, welcome to TLF! 

I believe that you'll have to take it to a Lotus dealer for their diagnostics kit to read ABS codes.

[FredH2]

come on Bibs we are in 2020 there's a lot of cheap diagnostic tools now 

I just want to know wich one is the best for the 111R 

 

[Bibs]

A generic tool might be able to give you the code but it has to be one that'll read airbag and ABS codes. A ebay/cheap one will read engine codes only.

Your dealer will can plug their machine in and it won't take a minute or cost very much, if at all depending on how well you know them.

Hello Bibs

thanks for your answer

a quick scan in my dealer will cost around 70 €    I will follow the auction on ebay and buy one in this price

Regard

Fred.

Have you had the battery off at all? If so disconnect it, leave a while and reconnect it. Turn the ignition on and leave it until all but the engine management light goes off before turning the engine over.

Failing that, inspect all 4 plugs at the wheels and the wiring leading to them, there maybe a break in one of the lines.

Thanks Kevlarkid  I have done this and nothing wrong the light still there

Hello guys I have somes news of my reaserch of a diagnostic tool

I have try Autel Maxicom MK808TS  Nothing on lotus (normaly works on all world cars)

and i have try a innova 3160d         Nothing on Lotus    (normaly works on all US car) 

I have send a email to innova to have some explain, normaly the 111r is exactly the same as the Federal 

they answer that I need to check repairSolution.com with a lotus federal VIN ,   I don't have ... if some one could send me one in MP ?

so diagnostic a ABS on S2 111r will be very difficult ...

Usually a broken wire to a wheel bearing speed sensor.

Can also occur with change of front to rear diameter of wheels.

Occasionally can be displacement of rubber 'O' ring between top and bottom sections of ABS unit, allowing moisture to enter.
