Had new drive shaft fitted as my reluctor ring (i think they're called) broke off and ABS light is still on! Checked under the car to see if all is well with the ring to find the other side is also broken off sooooooooo i'm booked in tomorow to get the other driveshaft fited, will the ABS light go out by itself or will i need to get it reset? As it is at the minute the ABS light is constantly on, it never goes off even before pulling away just after turning the car on, im hoping there is nothing else wrong with the ABS and the driveshaft will sort it, what ya reckon?

it should do after youve driven a couple of miles. if not you can always just disconnect the battery and leave it for 5 mins. make sure u know your radio code before hand though. and yes light will stay on constantly as a fault is logged in the memory.

The light WILL stay on even after getting new driveshafts? I need it to go through MOT!

see if the garage has a code reader and to erase the fault, thus causing the light to go out

It will go out by itself after a brief drive, perhaps not even. Unless there is another underlying fault.
Why get both driveshafts replaced? Why not just replace the reluctor rings

Tell me about it, didn't even know this was possible haha, never mind drive shaft fittings only costing £20 on side

Plus the driveshafts? 
Both rings can be bought for less than £30.00 and be fitted in less than 2 hours, all going well.

Knowing my luck with this car my driveshaft would go soon anyway haha, fingers crossed light goes out! I had it plugged in to diagnostics about 3 weeks ago and it didn't pick up a fault then, even though the light was on, so i'm sure it's just the rings!

they light should go out as soon as the fault is fixed as i has done on a few 206 i have done. did you have the fault read on a live scan to see what sensor is not working?

I think you should reset the abs light with a scaner or peugeot planet 2000. Besides, a PEugeot Planet or compatible scanner will tell you exactly what the problem is if thw light comes back

The ABS light will reset itself as soon as the fault has been fixed.
