ABS / Serv / ESP Lights

[alex.qts]

Hi all,

My 182 Cup has had intermittent ABS / ESP / Serv coming on for ages. More recently permanently on. Did not worry too much as I only potter about locally ! but now it is MOT time I need to sort it.

Stuck it on Clip and got the attached. Assuming ABS sensor as when you clear the codes it comes back instantly even without driving.

Am I right in thinking if it was a bad ring you wouldn't get errors until you started driving again?

Anyone who has seen this code before or who has experience here I would appreciate a bit of advice.

Many thanks.

Vehicle speed not available seems to flag up quite often but no warning light.

Id say its a safe bet its sensor or wiring issue if the other one wont clear.

Cheers that was my thoughts. From what I can see through the wheels the ring on that side looks in OK condition as does the sensor cosmetically at least.

Problem is I don’t want to order a sensor until I have the old one off the car - seen a lot of horror stories of wrong sensors on here… etc but it means prob a week minimum on axle stands!

Does anyone know if the rear ABS sensor on a cup can be changed without removing the hub? Looks a bit tight next to the bracket but maybe doable?

Yeah, driver's rear sensor.

Not too bad of a job but it's a hub off job.

You'll have to get the sensor from Autodoc, unless you want to pay Ktec prices.

Driver's rear has a female plug, passenger rear is male plug, so easy to see if you have the correct one.

Should be interesting never removed a hub before. Done discs so assuming it can’t be too much more difficult.

Crazy, all for an ABS sensor!

Will check the wiring tomorrow for any obvious faults.

Um, I think you could do the rear one with the hub on the car, you will need to remove the disk though.

I'll see if I can find some pictures.

Goes here:

I seem to remember fitting my ABS sensors after the hub was back on the car. So just whip disk off, undo sensor bolt (from the back) and knock the sensor through.

Thanks for this, really helpful.

Will give it a go in the next few weeks.

Always thought there was a bit of a lip preventing it from coming out/going in.
