ABS help

Hy ABS light had been coming on and off for a while but for the last month it has been on pernamently.

 

I have checked the resistances of the sensors and this is what i got

 

R NS 1.026

R OS 1.017

F NS 1.014

F OS Nothing, meter didnt move when i put it on the sensor

 

Is it this sensor thats causing the problem then??

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

More than likely mate :)

 

Its not 110% guarenteed though...it could be a broken wire too (depending on where you tested?)...but its definately a problem at the front right.

 

Did you unplug them at the hub or on the top of the suspension strut under the bonnet?

If at the hub then its pretty much gonna be the sensor.

was done at the hub so gotta be the sensor then.

Hi

you don't need to do a 'reset' - once a faulty sensor is replaced it should go out.

You need to make sure you havent left a large gap between rotor cage and sensor as the sensor wont sense the wheels spinning.

You may have more than one sensor failure?

How did you know it was the rear sensor that was faulty?

Central ABS problems will also cause the light to come on.

There's a lot on the forum about ABS issues 8)
