had this code and went through all the checks to find what the fault was and workshop manual said wheel speed sensor to change well done that cleared the fault with reader drove the car 20yrds and abs light back on c1175 code again any ideas would be good

 

My 2002 had the same code problem, but my first problem was I had rusted and cracked reluctor ring on the axel shaft. Check both sides for rust and cracking while your under the car. I only had c1175 and no c1165 right side, but the right side was cracked as well. If your rings are good, then you and I are having the same problem. Code c1175 still reappears after resetting and I also have replaced the left side sensor, too. I am now looking at the ABS module, but can only speculate at this time.

 

would this code bring on the engine management light as the only codes i have is c1175 and p1000

 

4x4x4, odds are your reluctance ring is shot and you need a new one. If you pull out that wheel speed sensor, you should be able to shine a flashlight down the hole and see the metal clamp (aka, ring) that is on the half shaft. It will kinda look like a piece of stamped steel with some rectangles cut out of it. Odds are, you will find that yours is gone and has rusted into pieces.

 

had a look down the hole and it doesn't look too good next question how easy is it to replace as i can't find it in my workshop manual it just shows the halfshaft and cv joint and not how replace it

 

4x4x4, you will in short be replacing the rear half shaft. the reluctance ring should be mounted to that. If you get a separate reluctance ring, then you are pretty much going to remove the half shaft from the vehicle, put on the reluctance ring and then put the shaft in like it was a new one.
