Pete91 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'd say the abs light may come on with it disconnected.Yeah when i was putting shims on mine i forgot to stick the plug back in and the light came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportrider-si Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yeah when i was putting shims on mine i forgot to stick the plug back in and the light came on.Did you get the abs intruding when you did this? the abs intrusion is making it difficult to drive, as the stopping distance in significantly increased in its current state. It only does short journeys so no abs for a couple of days will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Sorry i don't know. As soon as i saw the light i realised i hadn't connected the sensor so stuck the car back on the jack and reconnected it. I never drove it so don't know what effects it had mate.

Pete Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'd imagine disconnecting the sensor although bringing the light on wouldn't cause the fault you're getting at the minute to occur as you wouldn't be getting any readings at all from the wheel, instead of a faulty one.

Rich Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 If you need a temp solution, unplug a sensor and knock the light on which will disable the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportrider-si Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Unplugged the abs sensor yesterday, The end of the sensor is smashed to bits. I now have another problem, because I'm an idiot I forgot to measure the one standard bolt that was left in the wheel. Does anyone know the length of the standard bolts? As these are now on show gonna get some nice looking ones instead of rusty crappy ones. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportrider-si Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Most aftermarket bolts seem too long, was after some tuner ones really, bolt holes in the rotas are a bit tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
