Vauxhall Astra Brake Caliper Sticking – ABS Light On

Is your Vauxhall Astra brake caliper sticking, or are you having problems with the ABS light remaining constantly on? If the answer is yes, you are likely suffering from the common failure of the ABS pump and module, prevalent in models built between 2015-2018. When this ABS system fails, it will not only lead to the Vauxhall Astra brake caliper sticking, but it will also cause significant brake imbalance problems, and will even prevent fluid from reaching one or more calipers.

Additional symptoms of a faulty ABS pump and module in the Vauxhall Astra will manifest as a traction control light, alongside the ABS light staying on, and error messages for ‘Tyre Pressure Monitoring’ or ‘Wheel Speed Sensor’ faults. It is possible for diagnostics to encounter the stored fault code C0131 – Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction, however, it is not uncommon to find that diagnostics will fail to establish communications with the ABS unit, preventing fault codes from being discovered.

If you are dealing with the Vauxhall Astra ABS light on or brake caliper sticking, manufacturers will unfortunately suggest that you purchase a complete replacement unit. However, this will be an expensive and time-consuming process, primarily due to the extra labour that is required to reprogram the brand new unit from scratch, increasing both your time to wait, and expenses. On top of this, a new ABS pump and module will still likely have the original fault, which would lead to the same failure later on…
