PatM Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have a 04 V6 Auto freelander that Ive only covered 40 k since new. I had the 3 amigos during the summer- that was an easy fix as it was the brake switch- obvious as the switch was arced up and dirty- plus, you can hear the relay operate when its functioning ok as theres a definite clunk down the transmission tunnel when its working.. This one is a bit odd- When I pull away first off, there's a judder from the rear like the ABS is tying to operate- then the noise goes. and it doesn't occur when Im diriving or in traffic, stop/start. But if I turn off the ignition and re-start- there it goes again. And the 3 lights never extinguish. Im guessing a faulty wheel sensor? but any idea how Id diagnose as I don't want to buy 4 just for the sake of getting it right? rgds PatM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatM Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Right Gents= Progress. I got home from work and my new Autel 702 arrived in todays post- plugged it in and scanned codes. ''Rear wheel sensor no or low output- LHS.'' Its too wet to start sodding around tonight but I reset the coses and drove the car about 20 yds and 'felt' the ABS kick in momentarily. So before I go buying the wrong sensor- Ill have a look at the weekend. It also might be a missing reluctor- again, too wet to much around tonight!

Jonners Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hi Pat, I read something recently about being able to pull out the sensors and cleaning them up. Worth a try before buying (a) new ones. Jonners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 you can pop them ot if your lucky, I find the right sized open ended spanner and a hammer usualy does the trick....if that fails its drill time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatM Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 I brought a 2nd hand one off ebay for £15 and its done the trick- came out ok and as mines an 04- its the type that's just got the 8mm screwhead- which I soaked in WD40 for a bit, to save snapping the bloody head off. It took a run to calibrate the 'new' one- then all was fine- after clearing the code, off course. Apart from £250 to buy the scanner- as my old one wouldn't scan anything except engine- it was a cheap repair considering what LR would have charged.
