Looking back on this whole saga, I suspect that the fault all along has been the broken reluctor ring after the balljoint and initial sensor replacement. When it was doing my head in and in exasperation I took it to the "specialist" they tested the outputs and saw a dodgy output from the osf...

Kermit has the Nanocom

i've also bought a cheap abs ecu srd100501 with the short to another sensor error to see if I can fix it

The Kerr Nelson brand sensor arrived this morning. Fitted it at lunchtime today, fully greased and pushed right up to the reluctor teeth and the abs and traction lights have gone out. The Kerr Nelson one is physically identical to the previous 2 sensors fitted apart from having a resistance of...

Someone from range rovers.net posted this a while back :- "My car is a 2000 Thor with the later black box ABS / Traction control. Failure modes include open circuit across the signal wires and several cases of 'sensor X short to another sensor'. Although this is often a symptom of a failed ECU...

Someone said its in the Rave manual 900-1100

i think its anywhere between 950 and 2000. The nearside one doesn't come up faulty - maybe they are both too low and the ecu isn't recognising either of them ?

950 ohms on both fronts. It's got me proper baffled - 2 brand new sets of sensors and a new cv joint so far as the reluctor ring was cracked, but Kermits has no errors with a cracked reluctor ring o_O

Logically, the only way a sensor can short to another is inside the connector at the ECU or within the ECU itself or a short in the loom, unless a Nanocom can't actually diagnose a short circuit in the sensor itself ? Also +5v dc at the sensor plug would suggest the ECU is ok.

Yes I'm going to take the ecu out and take it apart and check for moisture/corrosion, but I thought if am getting +5v dc at the RH connector and Kernit's Nanocom says "sensor short to another sensor", then it can't be the ECU ?

It wasn't that interesting - it just mentioned that the sensor must touch the reluctor ring and gap cannot exceed 0.04" which is 1mm.

What were you going to try ? :)

I guess you would have to trace the sensor connections back from the ecu plug to the individual components on the pcb. Never seen inside one so I wouldn't know without looking.

Trouble is Marty is out of the country again for God knows how long. His oppo is doing the RF receivers but that's all.

Have you taken your old abs ecu apart ? Are there any components that look like they have blown or easily identifiable as being connected to each wheel sensor ? I've got some background in pcb assembly and repair from my time at GEC.

Yes i think it was confusing the LH front and LH rear - nothing about the RH side but they fixed the software glitch some time ago.

My Wabco accumulator was new on 07 July, 2020 - dunno about the alternator but it's charging the battery. Have ordered a Kerr Nelson brand abs sensor tonight, but I intend to remove the battery tray and trace the loom back from the sensor plug to check for a short in the wiring, although I do...

DanClarke had the same issue as me a few years back:- Nanocom pulls the following message from the ABS ECU "Front Right Sensor short to other" with a count of "12 times". Have cleared the messages but it immediately reappears on ignition on. Nothing but trouble this lemon. :( It was all OK after...

I've read on here that its a short on the LH rear to another sensor that signifies ecu failure, rather than a short on the RH front to another sensor, but who knows for definite ? Marty UK can repair all 4 channels on the abs ecu's for £95 a pop, except that he's still currently out of the...
