Hi all
I’ve got the abs light and abs fault come up on the dash of my 95 p38 diesel after a bit of off roading last weekend
I’m wondering if there is any other way of checking error codes etc other than nanocom, which obviously i don’t have?
I’m pretty sure its a wheel sensor but would be nice to know which one?
Any help greatly appreciated

Look on LZ IR map for someone local to you with the right diagnostic gear?
Buy one front 1 and one back one and swap out till the fault goes away?

Check your fluid level, go round all 4 sensors and give them a prod in first might be lucky.

Also check your brake peddle switch is set properly as that can throw an abs fault.

Make sure reluctor ring is clear and sensors are pushed all the way down.

Years ago i managed to detect a dodgy sensor on my car by spinning the wheel and measuring across the terminals with my meter. Don't know if they all work the same way

They're all hall sensors. Each tooth should generate a pulse. I guess you might pick that up with a volt meter? Oscilloscope maybe. Bet you can turn your smartphone into an oscilloscope.
