Hi Can anyone help me, i have the ABS and Traction fault on the dash, the pump seems to be working as i can here it kick when pressing the break pedal. breaking is fine pretty good actually which is good to know.
I have changed one of the sensors as my friend put it through a computer telling it was at fault and there was to much of a gap between the sensor and the wheel. Does it need to be reset?? or any other ides what it could be.
Thanks

Depends on whether you are talking about a LHD or a RHD P38. From reading your posts (several times might I add, use grammar man, grammar! ) I think you are saying the following...

The front left sensor had too much of an air gap.
The front right sensor had too much of an air gay.
The front right sensor had an open circuit failure.

Is this right??

Which sensor did you change??

I am watching the football and writing at the same time lol
Yes you are right and it is a RHD. The sensor that i changed was on the drivers side.

Give it a tap with rubbe hammer, that's what I did. It will reset itself when correct.

It might do, the air gap might of gotten too great between one of the sensors. You didnt say what you did about the LH sensor. Did you adjust that?? They may have just popped out a little, just tap them lightly and see if they seat back into position.
