ABS help

[Matt-R27]

Hi so on way home from buying my f1 the abs light come on and esp. on my works snap on computer it's saying drivers rear speed sensor so I've changed the abs sensor and new disc but come straight back on as soon as the car moves
Any common problems with this?

Stupid question but did you reset the fault code?

 

[Matt-R27]

Yes buddy twice

 

[Dystant]

Can't you reset abs by locking steering wheel from fully right to fully left? (or left to right can't remember)

EDIT: think it's left to right.

 

[Matt-R27]

Not tried that just reset the codes but come straight back on

 

[Matt-R27]

Tried that today pal lights still on Anyone any ideas?
The brakes work fine but just have annoying lights on with spanner.
I've noticed the Handbrake is pretty high could it be how to do with that?

 

[Matt-R27]

Can the abs system be delete out? So no lights are on

thats usually for the esp system reset as it used the sterring angle sensor for the esp calculations

you cannot disable abs via obd2...

have you tried a - ohms test on wheel sensor and then voltage check at abs sensor multi plug to see if theres an abs pulse?

handbrake is probably adjustment

 

[Matt-R27]

Yes pal not reading nothing.
Is it easier to just delete it out as it brakes fine and i don't want to start chasing a problem. Only had it a few days and cost me 150 for sensor,disc and fitting

did you make sure the disc had the excitor ring on the bearing fitted?

 

[Matt-R27]

Yes pal lol
One thing I did not was the round thing that the abs sensor sits in half of it was missing looks like it as rusted away or some fool as cut it off.
Would that cause the problem?

it could be by having too much of an air gap from sensor to ring - especially if theres no voltage pulse down the sensor wire

 

[Matt-R27]

I've printed the abs wiring diagram from autodata so think my works sparky is going to take a look. Really don't want to take it to Renault will cost to much.

Now sorted
Turned out to be the ring on sub axle where the abs sensor sits, rotten away so changed it.

Good work

Had this same problem a year ago (http://www.clio197.net/threads/abs-problems.51480/). The abs bracket wears down the excitor ring on the disc.
Did you manage to buy just the bracket or did you have to get the whole stub axle?

 

[TommyDMotorsport]

Same happened to me. Bought a used stub axle (doesnt matter which side), knocked the dust shield off with a punch and a spray of wd40. Knocked the old rusty one off the stub axle and punched the new one in place.

Abs rings can be bought for a tenner off eBay, stub axle was £35 from renparts but they sell quickly.

You can get the shield brand new but you have to buy a front wheel bearing kit. I just painted mybuses one with black hammerite and it'll be fine. Abs works fine again.

Yea that was problem now sorted
