ABS not working

[Guest]

Just take the bulb out the dash if you dont want it popping up on the mot.

That will still fail the mot, if the car has abs the light needs to come on and then go out.

But i want it to work! lol

could be sensors but there not cheap and impossible to remove...

 

[Guest]

you can remove them easily enough with big hammer, but you *will* break them

I seem to recall renault quoting me over £250 for a pair of front sensors

I'll look it up on dialogys in a mo

as for passing an MOT with the fuse/bulb removed... it technically shouldn't, but everyone seems to

faaack.

Tested the valver tonight and the ABS light definately does not go out when the engine is started.

Looks like i'll be disabling ABS then lol.

Will have a look to see if there's anything obvious that might fix it...
What actually happens to the sensors? can you clean them to get them working or anything??

they are hall effect sensors i think and just tend to fail after so many years use.

not sure why the abs sensors are so much more than the crank sensors though which are very similar items... :?
