Is anyone aware of any circuitry that may keep the ABS dashboard warning light on once a sensor has been replaced? I have a Xantia activa that was diagnosed was nearside rear ABS sensor intermittent. It has been replaced and the light has stayed on. Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

When I had a duff sensor the light went off as soon as I replaced it. I think the ecu does a check each time the ignition is switched on and the light shows if a fault is detected. It would be worth pulling the plug on the ABS ECU and checking each sensor and its wiring from there first.
You can use a 1k resistor to substitute the sensors which will fool the ECU at standstill, but the light will come on if you drive away as there will be no pulses detected.
