Bowie69 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 These ones are correct, according to Haynes and Rave: http://flrc.erovers.com/2007/10/14/troubleshooting-abs-light-on-rr-classic-and-disco-1s.aspx 4-14 is front left, first thing to do is check wiring, clean around the sensor and pull it out with a large flat blade screwdriver-tap home. Then get it up over 8mph and hopefully the light will go out, if not suspect a dead sensor, or even CV joint, as this is where the ABS reluctor ring is situated. Nip to a scrappy for a spare couple -the front ones are the same, I expect them to be very cheap (£10 or so). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierrafery Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 U can also unplug the sensor and measure it's resistance with ohmeter... it must be between 900 - 1100 ohm, then put AC voltmeter on it and rotate the wheel, u must have a certain voltage output there( use a small scale...they say it's 0.95V at 1 rot/sec of the wheel) . If these figures are out of the range, there is open or short circuit on the sensor then get a new one without any remorse. IMO when it's a wheel bearing/reluctor ring issue the fault is intermittent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke keeper of badger Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 thanks for the input well i changed out the left front sensor(no ac when wheel turned) drove the car. abs light went out until i turned left straight back on...abs code 5-14.....so i gave i a tap home drove again.....in a straight line its ok as soon as i turn im getting the 5-14 code need to look at the cv i think... it must be kicking the sensor up thanks luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 If tapping it down is fixing it, then there's something mechanical not working as it should, time for a bit of a strip down I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
