WH Statesman - ABS and TRC light keep coming on

[Mistikal]

Removed and replaced all the struts and springs in the WH the other night, and since then the ABS light and Traction Control light are coming on.

They aren't on when the car is first started, they only come on after you get up past about 10km/h, and when they come on there is like a slight jolt from the rear of the car - almost like the handbrake was engaged, but not.

I've checked the sensors in the front, they are still clipped into the back of the hubs and the wiring seems fine, and would I be mistaken that the ABS and Traction Control sensors are next to the CV's for the diff? If it is that sensor on each side, they also appear to be ok - they're still a few mm away from the CV, and I can't see where they might have come unplugged.

Could have tugged a ABS sensor on the front when getting the old ones in and out?

Need to drive vehicle with scan tool connected and find which wheel shows no speed, and trace that back. Check continuity of wire and resistance of sensor.

I would tend to think a abs wire has been pulled/squashed when changing front struts - easy to do

ABS only works after 20kph if i recall, so thats why it only has a fit after those speeds.

Drop or hit them at all?

If they are anything like the sensors on the Z33s they are pretty sensitive to knocks etc. I have had to replace mine before purely because I knocked them off a bench at one point.

[Mistikal]

Nah haven't bashed them at all, didn't even remove them.

Josh, do you have the correct gear to scan/etc? If so, when's a good time to come to you?

[joshg123]

can come down tomorrow night if you want about 6

[Mistikal]

Will shoot you a PM.

Had a chat to the boss at my mums work ( auto sparky ) and they have a car in there at the moment with the exact same problem, turned out to be the module and he said its common as fuck.

abs module controls heaps on things, strange waht it acually controls.

I have 2 rear ABS sensors in good condition if you end up needing them Andy. Bit of a drive, but worth it if they're free :p

[Mistikal]

Ok sweet. Will check module (the wagon has ABS so will try that first) and see if that fixes it.

I had same prob, started after self leveling susp sprung a leak ... Pump kept running so I pulled the relay, now she sits low low, actually leveled out with the ssl's up front. CSB anyway replaced the module .... 6 years ago
