Anyone know how to diagnose which wheel sensor is faulty, so I can get rid of this damn warning light,its begining to bug me although it is useful as a reading light when its dark:-)

 

Cheers

 

Yes.

 

Check your break fluid level first, then the ABS fuse!

 

Expose the ABS unit. UK 2+2's have them in the o/s rear seat wheel arch/arm rest area. I can send you a photo if you want. 2+0's I think, have them under the rear seat. In any case you probably need to remove the rear seat to access it.

 

Then, start the car. (The ABS light should go out after starting.) If the ABS warning light doesn't come on drive at 20mph+ for a min. Once the error light comes on, stop the car (not the engine) and count the number of flashes on the ABS diag light (on the ABS unit).

 

No flashes:

 

1. f left actuator solenoid

2. f right actuator solenoid

3/4. rear actuator solenoid circuit

5. f left wheel sensor circuit

6. f right wheel sensor circuit

7/8. rear wheel sensor circuit

9. motor/relay circuit

16+. ABS control unit error

 

There is a lot of info on how to repair the fault once you report the error code.

 

Jez,
