Snagger Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Probably the sensor gap. The sensors need pushing all the way into the swivel pins and the steering then turned from lock to lock before driving off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sighnbox Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Ok it was purchased as a new assemberley ...wheel hub, senser etc ....he did find a post saying to plug the new senser dircertly in the back of the ECU rather than in the plug on the inner wing but no explanation why ?????? any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 To bypass a faulty wiring harness? Just because the assembly was sold complete, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need adjustment. ABS sensors need to be very close to their exciter rings, though should not quite touch them as they are easily damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sighnbox Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Ok hopefully that will be it if you come up with any other ideas please do post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sighnbox Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 SOLVED plugged back directly into the ECU and BINGO A land rover technician for 24 years came to pick another car up and said try it as its a very common problem Jobs a good un all dun and mended said the wiring and plugs build up resistance and become over sensitive. he had cases where all four had to be re wired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
