Alangorst Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Hi all recently changed all my front suspension (like everything) fitted another steering rack along with tien extended arms and track rod ends. The steering rack was centred etc but first outing it flung on the vdc and slip light I thought this was down to it not being tracked, just went and got it tracked and everything is straight but it's still throwing these lights on does anyone have any ideas why? Could it be a bad abs sensor as I replaced these also. Cars a 2002 import. Thanks alan Quote
Aashenfox Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Did you change tyres at the same time? If so, what sizes did you put? Quote
Ekona Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 It's the ABS sensors. Nowt to do with tyres at all. Quote
Stutopia Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Missing a brake light? Brake fluid absolutely spot on MAX? Quote
Ekona Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 And is it throwing a CEL as well as the VDC/Slip lights? Quote

Aashenfox Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) It's the ABS sensors. Nowt to do with tyres at all. He said he's changed them, and when my car had these symptoms (from the previous owner, who also assumed it was an ABS sensor), it was because the tyres were the wrong size. I never changed any ABS sensors, but I did put stock tyres on stock wheels and the problem went away instantly. Now, if he'd said that this suddenly happened out of nowhere, of course it wouldn't be a logical suggestion, but since he's changed everything under the car, logical to assume tyres, too, no?

Alangorst Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 Hi all thanks for your suggestions, was the front left abs sensor causing it!! All sorted now and going strong 💪🻠1 Quote
Aashenfox Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Good stuff, was it a second hand set you bought and one was bad, or was it a new DOA? Just out of curiosity. Edited June 20, 2017 by Aashenfox Quote
Alangorst Posted June 22, 2017 Author Posted June 22, 2017 They were second hand bud they came off my donar car, only reason I didn't use my own was because the brackets on the other ones were powered coated green and I couldn't be bothered to swap the brackets over. Quote

For once I wasn't taking the mickey, I genuinely wondered if it was illuminating the CEL as well as the other lights! Quote
