Badshot Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Hi chapsI have a faulty ABS speed sensor on the rear of my aerodeck, I know looking at the workshop manual that the ABS system expects to see 2-3 Ohms when the cars moving and was thinking that by unpluging the sensor and replacing it with a resister say 2.2 Ohms, I could fool the system into putting the ABS back on and extinguishing the warning light?Any ideas as its looking about £150 cheaper than the sensor at the moment.CheersPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicturbo79 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 be interested to see if its that easy. could always get a garage to try and clear the fault.You could clear the faults by disconnecting the battery for 10 mins for pulling the ecu fuse . but if there is a sensor down when you get to 20 mph it will come stright back on . the same as if you fix the fault you will need to get to 20 mph for the system to see you have sorted the problem and the light to go out .

Badshot Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yep i did clear the abs light only for it to come back on after 20 mph, looks like a new ABS sensor is needed, does anyone know if the ABS is actually fuctioning with the warning light up?

uzy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I doubt it will be working by easy way to test is to slam the brakes on. If they lock up = abs not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
