d Tourer, DSC, ABS and hand brake light

[Loz Dogg]

Hi all

Had the faults read and it was the front near side ABS sensor, just replaced it and the lights are still on?

Any reset or anything I need to do in order for them to go out?

Thanks in advance

[dailydoggy]

have you reset it with suitable software like INPA?

[Loz Dogg]

No I havent reset it, is that what I have to do?

I read somewhere that once the fault had been recterfied they would clear themselves, is that not the case then no?

I would clear the fault mate and see if that sorts it then let us know

Some times it will clear itself and sometimes not, best to get it plugged in again mate and then you know where you are

Did you use a genuine sensor?

[Loz Dogg]

Ok, il go get it plugged in an cleared again an see if that sorts it.

Yeah, used a genuine sensor as I read il be changing it again in a couple of weeks!

As its a sunday, is there no battery disconnect resett I can do or anything?

You can try disconnecting the battery for an hour that may reset the error, doesn't cost anything and won't do any harm?

Ok, tried disconnecting tge battery for an hour yesterday an that didnt work.

So i went to my mates garage an he plugged in some snap on machine, few codes came up but they have all cleared apart from the same front left sensor, even though its brand new?

Anyone know where the wires go back to as this has only been a fault since we beat the death out of the lower arm rear bush to get it off? Changed the bushes and the trio of lights were on? Is the abs unit right above the front left lower arm? Is there a chance something has come loose?

Thanks in advance

ide say yav fucked the wiring or the new sensor is duff or ya might of goosed the reluctor ring on the wheel bearing, some bearings its just shrink fitted on and a rather flimsy affair...

use INPA software ya can see wether its registering any road speed at all or its just goosed altogether...

[Loz Dogg]

Honestly cant see how iv damaged either the wiring or the reluctor ring? Has to be a shit sensor surely, it cost £50 though?
