ABS light on constantly now after Langdale
« on: June 01, 2005, 09:17:03 »
Hi Guys, hope you can help.  After a 3 hour trail around the Langdale forest site my ABS light is now on constantly. Perhaps I hit a cable or something on a rock.  If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
Cheers

My light is nearly always on, but sometimes works. This is after I changed my springs/shocks recently.

It's quite possible that something has pulled loose - especially if you were getting max articulation :wink:  Have a crawl under each axle and look for dangling bits :wink:  :lol:

I had to replace one of my ABS sensors after having CV Joint/Swivel Problems.   But I suppose it is possible that the Sensor could have come loose or dislodged.   The Sensors (atleast on the front) are cylindrical about 1/2 inch accross, by about 2 1/2 inch deep, and disapear into the Swivel Housing.   check that one isn't obviously seated higher than the other, if it is a slight Tap with a rubber hammer may reseat it.   probably best to get it put on a Diagnostic computer first to indicate where the problem lies.

A good Independant will do it for a reasonable price,   mine did it for free.

Main dealer will charge you an Hours labour for plugging the Computer in.

Good Luck.

BUY A MANUAL, there is a test procedure that should identify where the problem lies.
