Wheel speed sensor

[shane@mbtech]

Yes indeed. However, I was under the misapprehension that if it failed, it would trigger the dash lights and therefore an error log that would need resetting in the same way.

No. Drive off and they are picked up. Then light usually goes out.

I was told by Gareth there are three sensors 2 front and 1 rear, where are you getting yours from and how much as mine keeps playing up at the moment and I have just ignored the light for the last year.

It might just need the a software reset . Toughy bought a new sensor as he thought one of his had gone as well - turned out it needed the same reset as mine and nothing more.

The ABS unit knows they are there without the wheels moving so no need to do this IME.

Running the MK60 ABS standalone now :thumbs:

I think "running" may be an exageration

On another car

Yep one of mine was knackered. I bought two from BMW at around £100 each. I only replaced the knackered one and keep the other side for when that one gives up. :wink:

Did your mate have to reset / reconfigure the software to recognise it like he did mine, or did the lights go off by themselves ?

[rstoughy]

Mike he cleared all the faults and put out the lights but I had about 1/2 a dozen different ones illuminated. Didn't take the same length of time as yours that's for sure. I seem to remember him saying your car was not recognising the sensor its self so that was causing an issue.

call it Khama, but had this light come up today (just yellow brake light, this is image from google)

Any guesses before I gets it fault code read on Monday?

Low fluid or you've left the handbrake on

Yep gonna check fluid and check callipers for any weaping nipples.

Can the rear handbrake stick or could the disconnected pad sensors trigger this?

[_Nathan_]

Think the switch is on the handbrake itself rather than at the back so the mechanism sticking wouldn't cause the light?

Check pad sensors haven't come loose and been ripped off \ damaged too (assuming you run them zip tied to the struts?).

What I was thinking as both shocks were removed this week.

Cool, you running on my spare set at moment then?

Can't wait to see what the 4 ways are like, gonna be difficult to know what has made the different though!
