ABS Sensors

Hi all,

I'm sure at some point we all have a faulty ABS sensor...my TD4 (2001) is on number 2 now....

I have made an alarming discovery for the sensors fitted to rear of freelander td4 (1a???? to 1A9999)

If you can get the sensor out have a trip to your local Wabco truck part specialist (or truck part wholesale) - I used Fleet Factors in Hull.

ALL Wabco sensors look and appear the same. Measure resistance. Same.

They differ in the connections used to terminate the lead ---- most terminate in a 2 pin socket.

AND differ in price....£240 for gen landy part, £20 to £30 per sensor for replacement. OK you may have to splice wiring to fit - use heatshrink and self amlgamating tape after soldering to make watertight.

And it works.

I'll post pics of my 'conversion' this weekend.......

Ok, Great... Question is if this is an old type (Pasive Abs Sensor) or a new (Active Abs Sensor) as I think they have changed them from '01 or '02. Passive ones need a rolling test to work, active ones will start working soon after ignition being on. I think ;-)))...

As far as I know they are passive - in as much as you fit it and go for a drive for the warning lights to go out!

I do know that - so far - still woring at reduced cost so i'm happy

Lucky you mate !!! My TD4 is '03 and I'm pretty f** but we will work around that problem soon or later

I am sure there must be a third party part that is of the same ilk - i think active have three wires - i'll have a word with my wabco stockist if that helps?
