Homer Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Almost forgot about this bit! One of the ABS sensor lines has been cut near the rear wheel, is it possible to simply patch it back together or will that screw up the signal? I heard that the ABS sensors are VERY sensitive and heavily sheilded so not sure if it's advisable to repair.. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Try and see mate? check after you have done this the resistance between the sensor and the block connector with one that has not been repaired and see the differance. If they are the same then thats good enough I think. Its only a square wave signal anyway so should not be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WDFL12 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Shouldnt be a problem , I changed all mine on the truck and they all work fine , Good luck . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Should be ok, I have my Solaris ECU joined onto these for the traction control. EDIT: I guess you mean the wheel speed sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 After the wiring comes out of the strut tunnel it goes to unshielded wire so you should be alright if you repair it nicely Daryl. But if you are worried about it you can borrow my Scope to check the signal sometime. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cable out of the hub is heavily shielded so was worried about interference. Will try and do a good job on it but if things go wrong I'll take you up on the offer! ABS is one of those things you don't want to get bugger up at the wrong moment hence the caution.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Close to the hub you will get interference but depends how far away it is really from it. Could also if really worried wrap the joint in tinfoil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Can I ask a question here, why are they shielded? Its just a phonic wheel arrangement, a mag pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 if you have RLTC to could use that to make sure you are getting a valid signal, either way if i were you i would want to know the signal is good, out of interest would a duff sensor not flag up a fault code ?

No RLTC (It's an NA ) Apparently a duff (or in this case missing) sensor doesn't throw up a fault code on the ECU, but the ABS warning light stays on.

Ian C Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The ABS unit stores fault codes much like the ECU does, you can read them off and get which bit is playing up. Have a search, I think I've mentioned it a couple of times in the past -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
