Title: ABS issues
Post by: Winso on 19 July 2009, 12:52

I recently got the codes scanned and apparently I have faults on all 4 ABS speed sensors and on the ABS pump. If I remember right they were all intermittent though. How likely is it for all 4 sensors to go? Am I more likely to have some sort of fundamental wiring issue?

The sensors are likely to fail, and if you left it for a while i suppose they could all go. They dont get worn out so much from being used, its the fact they are exposed to the elements also that ruins them.

Yes check each sensor across its two terminals with an ohmeter they should read just over 1000 ohms if not replace.

I have done this many times, even though i have a fault reader. I have replaced all of mine in the past 2 years. lol.
