#1: ABS HELP Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 9:19 am ---- Hi All
Just had car in garage to change both outer end cv joints, has from previous
post abs rings kaput. Also had both lower arms, track rod ends, drop arm links done while he was at it to save expense later on. Troube is when i collected car, he said he took car for a short spin round the block and abs light didn't go off, which he said is unusual. would a higher speed thrashing on motorway clear the fault, was going to do it today before i posted, but winters here again.
Just to add sensors ok i think, as the old rings would move now and again and knock the abs off and on at times, with a noticeable change in the brakes.
Any comments much appreciated, until i can give it a thrashing

Something is still wrong.

Not the case in my experience, the light on the dash should go off when the ABS reads correctly again.
Had the same issue on my 180 and never had to have the codes cleared to get rid of the light.

#6: Re: ABS HELP Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 10:11 am ---- Thanks Big Rich180, Gonna clean sensors when i get chance, and go from there.
#7: Re: ABS HELP Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 10:28 am ---- Thanks Timon 2210 thanks for your input, but MRBSI and Big R seem to have the opinion of the mechanic.

No problem mate,keep us posted on how did you got it fixed so that other can find it useful when they do a search in here
#9: Re: ABS HELP Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 4:34 pm ---- Will do, Gonna check all sensors when this nasty snowy weathers gone.
Looking at forecast another week.

#11: Re: ABS HELP Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Mon May 06, 2013 11:50 am ---- Just got round to sorting it, whipped all four sensors out the other day and gave them all a good clean, with no joy, checked both abs fuses this morning
both ok. My thoughts at the moment is when the rings crack, they become ovaled and bigger, and am therefore assuming, as worn down the sensors a bit,
and am now left with a larger gap between the sensors and ring.
So gonna get 2 new sensors and see what happens.
Anyone know what the gap should be between sensor and ring, tried searching for the answer without success.

Unlikely, I think you need a code read to see what the issue is here. Sounds like a sensor failure.
#13: Re: ABS HELP Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Mon May 06, 2013 3:00 pm ---- Had it code read a while ago came up front n/s sensor, i am presuming the the fault came up because of the cracked ring, or am i wrong.
Anyhow gonna change front sensors, and hopefully everything will be ok.
cheers Steve

Cheers pal, hopefully this thread can be solved after sensors have been changed.
