Abs ...

[roddy21t]

My ABS warning light is coming on and staying on, so i have just checked the resistance on the 4 ABS sensors and they are ; ...

Front right ... 1.11 ohms
Front left ... 1.06 ohms
Rear right ... 1.09 ohms
Rear left ... 1.07 ohms

Are these readings ok ?

no idea mate sorry....my light has been on for about 3 years lol,will sort it out one day

They look fine around the right ball park! Aslong as they are all relative.

Could be the computer, is it from start or when driving?

It goes out after the engine is started, but after driving for approx 1 mile it will come on and stay on. The pedal feels fine though ....

I have just cleaned all the rings and sensors ...

When the old rings were on the front the ABS was fine !!!!! .. then i put new rings on and it went down hill from there .. lol
The only thing i can think of is i changed a front caliper with a 2nd hand one that had a sensor attached to it, i cant remember which side it was tbh but it could be the one that is giving the reading of 1.11 ohms !! .. mmmm ...
I do have brand new sensor in the garage but cant remember if its a front or rear one ..... i will be pissed though if i wreck a perfectly good sensor and the problem is still there !!
If she passes the MoT on Tuesday Daz, i'll need to take a wee drive over for a brew and chat mate ..

It might just be that Dan ...

Those readings are fine. Don't touch the sensors.

If the light goes out and comes on after driving, (you'll notice the pedal twitching as well before the light comes on) it's the targets. Definately without question.

Check for stone damage. Even small dints on the ridges can cause issues, front or back.

Also, calipers have nothing to do with ABS. The wire from the pads is a wear indicator only. The ABS runs from the 4 sensors and 4 targets only on 2wd's.

Im getting the exact symtoms that you mentioned there Dave ....


If its the targets that are the problem it has to be the front one's as they are the ones i have changed ... i gave them a clean yesterday and im still getting the light on the dash !! ..
