Just an update finally lost will to live and took to local back street garage genius who just cut through the crap like swarfega through Land Rover grease. He swapped the two sensor leads over and right hand sensor now in left hand hub shows same fault low voltage Therefore he said its at the...

Stan thanks its the supplier who suggested torque might be the issue !! Like you I stand on a bar and get to the right torque that way have done it all my life and luckily body weight has kept up with the cars I like! There was no big knock but the reason I touched the sensor originally was...

now received this ? have you heard of this one ? Hi Tim What torque did you do the hub nut up to? The hubs for a Discovery 2 are very sensitive to this and it can cause the ABS sensor to not read correctly.

Obviously couldn't wait so back playing with the hub Have taken it off cleaned ring thoroughly solvent and mechanically and even blasted with air to get shiny clean notches all the way have receipted sensor with a ring tapped gently and put it all back together Cleared fault and then taken for...

thanks you this is clear and concise yep the fault code clears and low output comes on at about 7 mph from reading all the stuff on here it seemed like it wouldn't pass after vehicle starts to move if there is a problem in the wiring clips etc Nice to have a definitive this is not true -...

thanks fellas Appreciate you taking the time vid is a great summary and adds some measures which is good I understand the way it works and feel I have a pretty good grasp of the advice on this site its just conflicting Don't know why the gap could be too large (they are not touching- I did...

Thinks Can’t be voltage as car is stopped Maybe I should buy an old defender with no wires in it ?

Sorry to be thick is Dvm you’re reader I’ve got icarsoft v1 can’t see ac voltage on it but will look again There is a km reading from each wheel of 1.7 all four the same when car is stopped maybe this is voltage indicator somehow In which case if I have good voltage or the same from all four...

So is the sensor output dc ?? I’ve read umpteen posts that say the current generated by refactor ring interrupting magnet in sensor creates ac my physics not good enough to know science but it rings a bell Then the bigger air gap or dirt reduces the interior and voltage drops so fault appears...

Thanks have started new thread

I've scrolled through a million threads and on different web sites and found a world of different but vaguely similar advice Makes me wonder if anyone really knows the secrets of the d2 abs black magic box?? so far I've done new brakes shoes rotors new hubs option b New sensors Long leads...

mot and 3 amigos again this time nsfw low error code 0440

Help they shout now me too yes I've scrolled through a million threads and on different web sites so far I've done new brakes new hubs option b and now a low sensor output code and error code 0440 obviously happened in time for mot and now its failed I have replaced the sensor again checked the...

Hi Simon if you're still about and have your tester do you want to sell it torrent it for a week Im in warsash bw Tim

Jamie thanks great to know we are not alone I will do as you did and attempt removal of the top nut after a good clean don't feel up to a kebab in the heat so will have a go at it next week Have soaked with wd40 and told it what needs to happen - well it worked on the swivels eventually -...
