Hi, I bought this car from auction. ABS and hand brake warning lights are on even when hand brake is physically off. When you put in gear D and try to accelerate, it sort of jumps and shakes two to three times and starts moving when moving fine changes gear automatically no problem. When on the traffic lights same, does not move couple of jumps and then drives okay. Is it gear box problem or ABS system? Although it does not show any engine or gear box fault on the display.

Hello,

The ABS system can be shutting down the engine or transmission at times which will cause the problem you are describing. Lets run the codes on the ABS system by following this guide and then report back.

Please run down this guide and report back.
