ABS sensor

[Michael]

I tried to add this onto a previous conversation but couldn't find it. My GT is throwing up the ABS lights and others but only intermittently, it there a way of looking at the wiring that leads to the hub with the sensor without removing a wheel?

Thanks in advance.

I've now found the post

It probably won't be the wiring....

Michael I had the same fault as you read in my previous post, I checked the wiring extensively including measuring resistance across each of the ABS sensors but I was unable to pinpoint the fully ABS sensor / wheel bearing. I contacted PK supercars in Elphinstone who arranged for a diagnostic check which immediately identified the defective ABS sensor, a short road test also confirmed no reading from 1 wheel. The replacement of front wheel bearing is a simple job as long as you have the correct tools and should not take any longer than 1.5hrs. rear wheel bearing change is a bit more complex due to hand brake assembly and the risk the drive shaft splines may have seized in the bearing.

Angus, thank you for yor message. I assume you had to buy a new hub/sensor assembly?

Yes bought from Eurospares, took about 10 days as had to be shipped from Italy. £393 +don't forget the VAT when pricing.
