Strange ABS Fault

Sorry its a long one. Went over bump, hey presto, three amigos. Plugged in Hawkeye, "ABS sensor broken wire, impedance too low etc front right wheel..
Inspected wire near sensor and it had rubbed on the hub and broken. Bought new sensor, installed it, plugged it in, Hawkeye still says broken wire etc and live data reading 0v.
Scratched head, looked at plug decided that the holes look slightly different to the old one so I cut off the old one and soldered it onto the new one. Plugged in Hawkeye and ... ..... No change, still 0 volt.

Oh also I have checked the impedance, 1050 ohms.

Update:- Plot thickens, sensor works ok out of the hub, 2.3volts, drops to zero when I push it into the hub. Pull it out 2.3 volts. Wires to the ECU all good.

Update Two :Bought another new sensor. Still reads broken wire on Hawkeye! This one reads 0 volts whether it is in the hub or not.

I have also checked the wiring all the way back to the ECU where its reads 1050ohms

Do you think the breaking of the wire could of fried the ECU?

Thanks in advance.

MOT imminent! !!!!!!

Morning,

A silly thing, are you sure that the corner you are working on is the one the EU sees as the failed one?

Have seen posts when a dodgy repair has meant that the wires were switched. Diagnostics sent the owner on a wild goose chase.

Cheers

Yes, I'm afraid it is. Have unplugged the other one to check!

Hmm, the two new sensors were duff. I pulled the original LR out of the bin and spliced it back onto the new cable. Hey presto, No Amigos.
Now I need to get my money back!

It happens when you go for aftermarket sh*t which are most of them made in China especially those delivered by allmakes... few days ago we had a topic here where a member has a hard time caused by new ride height sensors which worked the other way around https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/sls-no-lights-and-wont-go-down.334315/page-4#post-4332624

the ABS system is too important to save money on it, only WABCO parts are 100% reliable
