Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2019 21:59 Post subject: Intermitent ABS light |
|
|
Hi All,
I have my ABS light coming on intermittently.
Sometimes doesn't stay on for long, sometimes stays on until the engine is stopped / restarted.
I also sometimes feel the ABS kicking in when braking at a slow speed when it shouldn't be kicking in, i.e. on a smooth tarmac road coming up to a stop sign for instance.
Any ideas?
Dirty sensor somewhere?
Thanks
Mark... |

When I had a similar issue it was a dirty sensor. Jetting the hose around the wheels/ABS ring was luckily enough for me.

Cool, I hope its just that.
I have no idea what an ABS sensor looks like but I'll try some gentle hosing round the back of all the wheels at the weekend... |

okay thanks again.
But "hub casting", "knuckle", I'm a bit lost I'm afraid!
Is that first picture the rear or the front?
And is it the top or bottom pipe I'm looking for?
I'll get under the vehicle tomorrow / Sunday and take some pics, see what I can match up... |

The Hub is made of cast metal. the knuckle is the sticky out bit, that the front drive shaft goes through and the brake disk fits onto:-

Hmm, I hosed off all round the back of each wheel yesterday.
Took the van for a spin today, no ABS light on until I got to my destination about 8 miles away.
Took dog for a walk, back in van to go home, ABS light comes on again almost straight away and on the entire journey back home...
That's something else I need to get sorted before it goes in for its test........ blow! |
