technical question abs codes..
is there any way to find out which sensor is causing a fault? by that I mean through the OBC or on the nav screen?
my car is going into ABS mode when driving slowly.. as soon as you touch the brakes it thinks that a wheel is locking and starts pulsing the brakes.. if I speed up then the abs light comes on and there is no more abs..
I suspect a faulty sensor/ring... fronts are new and look clean.
anyway will an OBDII scanner give abs codes?
trying to avoid dealer diagnostics....

RE: technical question abs codes..
No it goes into ABS mode that is pulsing the brakes like crazy.
buzzing, vibrating in the pedal. pedal pressure rises as does the pedal position..
It is for sure thinking that a wheel is locking up and then going into abs mode.. cant tell what wheel it is though...

RE: technical question abs codes..
I posted a step by step thread on this a while back but cant find it.
If your ABS light is illuminating because you probably have a corroded/damaged ABS speed sensor on one of your wheels.Because the engine control unit is therefore not getting a speed reading from this sensor it will illuminate the engine management light on your dash as well.
This happened to me and the problem is now fixed:-
I pulled out off a T-junction and as I pulled out speeding car caught my eye. I had to accelerate foot to the floor. While accelerating hard my ABS light illuminated on the dashboard. 2 miles later I stopped off, and half an hour later when I started the car the engine management light also came on, so I had 2 lights on the dash all the time. I ended up getting a new outer CV joint (£60) fitted as this has a new ABS speed sensor inside it. This cured my problem.
You can pinpoint which ABS sensor has failed by getting your dealer/independant specialist to plug in their diagnostic machine and retreive the error code.On mine it had the error code C1175 which turns out to be the LHR speed sensor input on the outer CV joint.

RE: technical question abs codes..
so if you read the article....... i get one of the mother ****er joints that wont tap onto the shaft...
the freaking dealer says.. " told you so............ shoulda bought the 1000 dollar entire driveshaft..."
I have my old outer CV joint that slips on and off my shaft.. and the new CV joint wont pound on with all the might I can muster..........
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH KILL KILL KILL>>.. honestly..... why do they call it going "POSTAL" when it should be called going "JAG"

RE: technical question abs codes..
I got the car without warranty... that was an entire other story of how the dealer insisted on a compression test to givea warranty.. and they quoted 5 hours labour to remove the intake manifold.so I refused to pay an extra 500 dollars for the warranty....... then.. after a few months ...I had to pull the intake to do something and it only took me 30 mins.......AT HOME>>> what the **** is with their 5 hour quote>?
****ers cheated me out of having a warranty.. now they are just doing torture.....

RE: technical question abs codes..
SO I decided to give a couple of driveline shops a kick at the can so to speak.
They both gave up and volunteered to give a call to the dealer saying the joint does not fit..
so I went to the dealer and went through the problem. got a small crowd together, some say " ya they just dont fit .. that is why we do the entire halfshaft." others say.. " then why the heck does Jag sell the joint separately?"
One mechanic.. the strong silent type one.. just picks up the parts and heads for the shop... kinda ends the conversation.
He got set up in a big vise.. and a BIIIGG hammer... and he beat the **** out of it till is was on.
he hands it back to me and says " no charge"
so not sure how the precision machined CV joint can survive such a beating but it is going back on the car.. ( just need to file off the burrs he made.)
wish me luck hahahahha
