Hi All, my turn again and a new one for me.
I have an 04, 4.4 L322 which I had MOT'd yesterday and all passed without any advisories but yesterday afternoon I got the bong of death and Air Suspension Inactive, HDC, DSC, ABS, the complete set but the car drove ok so I left it until I got home.
I pulled on the drive switched everything off, connected up the Fautlmate and got a 'Front Left Wheel Speed Sensor Plausibility' error which I cleared and I have also had the same fault but open circuit since.
i had an EBV fault on the instrument panel and various lighting errors including front side markers and brake lights although all is fine regarding the lights.
I reversed off my drive and as I started to move slowly forwards there was a kind of binding of brakes a small wheel lock up and I put my foot on the brake and got a lot of ABS activating and feeding back through the pedal followed by the suspension / HDC inactive etc. I moved slowly forward and it drove fine apart from the all the Instrument panel warnings.
I connected up my Allcomms and it gave me the front left speed sensor error which I can clear and if I drive backwards and forwards again it comes back almost instantly with the ABS activating as soon as I touch the brake, followed by the warnings.
The ABS sensor is quite new, I removed the front two and they are clean and the wiring looks good as it does to all the sensors as far as I can see.
The only thing I had done was the MOT where they had to put it on the ramps with the wheels hanging free but apart from that it has been fine for a while and was ok driving back from the MOT.
Does it sound like a simple wheel sensor gone bad or after having a google there could be a lot more going on with ABS modules, steering angle sensors etc.
Any counselling very much appreciated as always.
Thanks
Andy
