Re: ABS saga continues Posted by Justin VanAbrahams [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: ABS saga continues, bobc ![]() ![]() |
I think WIS can provide an overview of what causes faults to set, and I was (perhaps errantly) under the impression the car needed to be moving to set such a fault. Seems like this is supported by your lack of a fault when disconnecting the other sensor - no fault was set because the car wasn't moving.
I am suspicious of the rebuilt ABS module. I feel like people who rebuild electronics like this are looking for the one or two common faults and not oddities that may exist elsewhere. When sending a SID in for missing pixels it comes back fine every time, but when sending a SID in for a display that totally disappears at random it took two or three passes. I would not be surprised to find that some tiny surface mount component has failed which causes that fault and got overlooked in a rebuild. If you have access to a spare, I'd certainly try that before taking apart wiring.
FWIW, the ohm reading of a sensor is indicative of a problem, but not the sole descriptor. ABS sensors can certainly fail in unusual ways. My Alfa had a fault on a rear sensor but it ohmed out fine... turned out the entire shell had fallen apart and welded itself to the hub. Whoops. So, similarly, if you have access to a spare it'd be worth a shot. Maybe steal one from another location temporarily just to prove the point?
