Cannot clear ABS fault code 1-2

Recently I had a wheel bearing colapse which then knackered my CV, and the whole wheel - long story lol

Anyways, now all sorted, and had to sort out the brakes as had the ABS light on - new sensor fitted job done - ABS light now goes off when you drive.

However, have tried to clear the fault codes so the light flashes when you put on the ignition like before, but can I heck clear the 1-2 fault code - I am doing everything I did before when I got the Disco and cleared the fault codes - bridging pins 4 and 15, and then removing them when the code flashes...

So how many codes can it actually store, as I am sure I have done it over 50 times now.....any idea's?

isnt 1-2 the test code thingy? 1 long then 2 short? if so then it cant be cleared, its supposed to be there.

i cant remember the fault codes tho so i may be wrong

nah, it does the 1 flash, then 1 flash, then goes into the fault reading mode, which is when I get the 1-2 code.

I know there is a fault logged as the light doesn't flash when I put on the ignition.

I know its not major, as everything works, but its really annoying me :doh:

ah my bad, not at my workshop so not got the ABS codes to hand.

what is code 1-2? maybe there is still a fault there but its not affecting the ABS system? when i replaced a sensor last month i cleared all the codes and drove the car fine, light went out as it should. only when i finished the test drive i realised i'd forgot to plug the relay back in :doh:

dont know off top of head what a 1-2 is, and my wabco manuals at the shop too.
would be interested to know how many faults they can store too, and a mass delete method if one exists!
ps, you shouldnt need to pull the relay, can be read and deleted with it in.

There is no such fault code as 1-2 on the list, fault codes are beginnig with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. I think its some kind of system bug and after the start sequence (1-1) its entering and repeating the correct operation mode.

according to the manual(i dont wanna contradict mr. nrgserv) u have to remove the ABS warning lamp relay before u access the codes and refit it after u've erased them.

I think the best way to sort this out is to plug it in a tester when u'll have the chance.

I read that too but it makes no difference and works just as well with the relay fitted. I can read and clear the codes in a couple of minutes now.

I'm not disavowing that....never did, (just quoted the manual).....i'm wondering why have they included that in the procedure though

cheers dave.
we found accidentally, when we cleared a code then remembered we had pulled it.
dont even bother looking for the relay now.

edit.
but i did notice that there wasnt a 1-2 on the computer doc i had saved, but as the manual was at workshop with all the codes, werent prepared to commit to this.

I have tried both ways, with the relay pulled, and in situe - still get the 1-2 code, and cannot clear the thing

This is where I got the info for a 1-2 code - any idea's???
