Martyn85 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi, shot in the dark I was wondering if anybody could shed some light I got a rear wheel speed sensor fault, mechanical failure I’ve looked at the sensor and all seems ok. Could this fault be down to the pick up ring on the wheel bearing or the wheel bearing itself? I have attached the Ross tech print out for everyone to look at. Need to it sorted so I can calibrate my steering angle. Hope somebody can help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Sometimes you find that the connectors for the abs get surface rust and if this is cleaned off the sensor can start to work again. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn85 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Sensor looks good tho, disconnected it sprayed a load of contact cleaner on it but still getting the fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 If the contacts are rusted you may need something more aggressive than a spray. Can you get a an abrasive stick onto them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn85 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I’ll have another look and give them a good rubbing over then. Thanks for the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn85 Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Light haven’t come on now for a few days and was driving the car today and noticed that only the yellow steering light was on, so did the basic setting one full turn left right back in the middle and bang lights out and power steering back. Not all that concerned about the sensor as I know the abs works I just needed it sorted to calibrate the steering assist so all good now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sashi Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hi.. how do you come to a conclusion that the sensor is ok?.. I had the same issue couple of months back and I replaced the sensor and done a battery reset.. and drove the car >10kph the fault is cleared and power steering calibration also sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
