colsoop Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Has the speed sensor been damaged when doing the work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yep, the lead to one of the ABS sensors has been broken, it's often impossible to see the break as it's within the insulation. It'll almost certainly be a front one, as I see this all the time when butchers fail to remove the sensor, or fail to support things so as to not allow a strain on the sensor lead.

mr keef Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Thanks Colin/Chris looks like i need to investigate,although it seems a new sensor aint cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 are the front and rear sensors the same?as the wheel bearing he done was on the rear,so it could be that one also,or is it a case of just trying them all until i find the right one?

No, totally different leads. They will self diagnose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 There is something in the ABS (like a minimum speed) below which the ABS is supposed to be de-activated. Slow speed ABS issues seem a little strange as it's not supposed to be enabled (maybe it's Try the ABS system fault code diagnosis http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=517078&postcount=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 yea if im going say 60 and press brakes till i come to a stop everything is fine,but as soon as it gets to about 10 mph the pedal starts juddering etc..i will check the error codes and post.

mr keef Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 ok just done the test via that link and the slip control light just flashes non stop??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Um, that means no faults then - which is odd as it sounds like one of your sensors is falsely reporting a locked-up wheel at low speeds. You haven't got RLTC have you, it's got a great real-time display of what your wheel sensors are up to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1933 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Oh right, for some reason i missed the sensor bit out when i read that! Did you manage to get replacement rings on their own or did it cost you £300+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 That is really good to know. I think I may keep a couple of shaft. I suspect we will see more and more of this as the UK salt does its worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 yep i also found out that the drivers rear shaft is shorter that the passenger rear:( hence why i only used the ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
