ABS need help !!!!!
« on: 19 September 2008, 08:40 »
Hi all, i changed my rear abs sensor yesterday and reset the fault code on the ecu.The light went off and stayed off but after driving about 200 yards it came back on, so i reset the code again and it stayed off again until i drove.It comes up with the same fault code i had in the first place.


Please help somebody must have had the same problem,It is driving me mad lol :grin:
