Re: ABS Light

Once I'd moved it back it just pushed back in with a firm hand pressure and
has been OK since (12 Months) I wouldn't have thought so much force was
needed.

Cheers Peter,

I think I'd better get it jacked up and have a proper look when the
rain stops for more than 3 minutes :-(

I was able to pry mine out with a 12" flat blade screwdriver. it wasn't that
tight. It went back in with quite a clunk as it hit the sensor wheel but it
did the trick.

That's my plan for tomorrow if the weather is decent, get it up on axle
stands and the wheels off so I can see what I'm doing. So far I've
just slid underneath and tried from under the car - the access from
there isn't that good with the shock absorber in the way.

I've been out and squirted a little plus gas around the sensors in case
they are stuck and that should make the job easier. If that's what it
is...

Is there any easy way of reading the stored fault code from the ABS?

Cheers for the tips.

While I don't want to spam the group with advertising, Rovacom Lite is
probably the most affordable way of doing this yourself.

That looks quite good - but detecting one fault in 5 years probably
doesn't means it doesn't make much financial sense to buy it...

Cheerrs for the link though.
