#1: ABS sensor cleaning Author: Bigbenj_08, Location: CardiffPosted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 1:32 pm ---- I get a very very quick single beep and sometimes a flash of a message "abs fault" (literally milliseconds) when I start the car.
It only seems to happen I the cold/wet as it disappears when its dry.
So I want to get at the sensors and give em a clean as I'm assumg its a dirty sensor.
I've got the haynes manual to hand but want to double check..
Do the abs sensors have any of the hydraulics plumbed into them?
Ie if I completely remove the sensor, I dont want fluid from the hydraulic abs system pouring out!
May be a silly question, but I just want to double check.
Also, if anyone has a pic of an abs sensor so I know what I'm looking for it would be appreciated!

You can also unplug from the harness and measure them etc.

Had zero issues with the brakes/abs and had no abs warning light or any other lights pop up apart from the occasional blip when 1st turning the key.
