Title: ABS Fault
Post by: Devilz on 21 June 2010, 15:46

After bitting the bullet to put my car for sale, all I wanted was something to go wrong with it  :huh:

While driving back from Northampton today after looking at another car, ABS fault comes up on dash and now yellow abs light is on dash. Just scanned it for fault codes and this is what comes up

Address 03     -------------------------------------------------------
   Controller: 1J0 907 379  Q
   Component: ABS/EDS 20 IE CAN  0001
   Coding: 13504
   Shop #: WSC 00028
1 Fault Found:
00287 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor: Rear Right (G44)
            35-00 - -

I looked here ( http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/00287 ) for solution and to me it makes no sense.  :laugh:

I searched over web as well and all info I get is it can be sensor or it can be abs pump(which is quite expensive to replace). Need your guys advice what to do, how can I solve it without spending much. Also is it safe to carry on driving like this. Thanks

Possibly a break in the wiring going to the sensor

Whip the wheel off and have a look to see if the wire are intact or grab a multimeter and test it that way

If the harness turns out to be damaged beyond repair (mine got shredded after fitting coilovers), I wrote up a short description on how to replace it:
