ABS Fault and Traction Failure

Ray38 · Sep 30, 2009

I changed a front hub and a cv joint at the weekend. Now when i turn on the ignition i get this message. I have searched already for an answer. The most common one seems to be the sensors being in the wrong position, so ive played with these and its made no difference.

Are there any other things i can try?

Thanks

If its a p38 push the sensor fully home untill it touches the ring, when the wheel turns it resets sensor gap.

Thanks for the reply. I tries that but its made no difference.

Is there a chance i could have ruined a sensor?

Hi.
If the end of the sensor is scratched then more often than not they are poorly, sorry.

Nick.

The sensor should NOT touch the ring. Push it in until it does then twist it back out about a sixteenth of an inch. Unless the sensor casing is worn through the sensor should be ok. Maybe you have disturbed the plug connection uncouple this and clean it. Out of position sensors usually generate a warning only when you start to move, if you are getting a message as you turn on the key that would indicate to me a bad connection or broken wire, the system is telling you the circuit is incomplete..
