 sorry if a sensor is disconnected it will log it as a fault and the ABS warning light will come on (and no ABS, but you can still drive the car obv.)________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

I was fitting a new top mounts, hubs, struts and dampers and the old ABS sensor would not come out  |

If you replace the sensor and unplug the battery it will clear the code, well it will at remove the ABS light on the dash (I needed a new sensor on mine when I got it and the light went away with a replacement).________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Yeah you can either disconnect the battery, or I've been told after "a number" of ignition off/on it will clear logged faults as well... but AFAICS every time you fire it up, the ABS unit checks the status of the sensors - if they check out OK, then it should be happy.________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

You don't even need to disconnect the battery. The fault will clear when a good signal is received from all sensors at above 8mph.________________________________________ Rich |

As Rich says. Hence why whenever you put a car on a RR you'll get the ABS light on indicating a fault as the fronts have been spinning and the rears stationary so it thinks the rear sensors are f*cked.________________________________________  Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |
