206cc to a 308cc How ? Why ? Everything 308cc

[Huskyxantia]

Ive changed the sensor, on live data every mph reading was 0 yesterday i was reading 28.9mph even when driving with live running. Now ive got 3 sensors reading (only drove a few yards) only sensor not reading was driver side front. Checked the loom it looks all ok, my guess now would be it hasnt drove far enough to speak to the brain of the car to tell it its there.
The one removed had a deep line scored into it and some very rough edge plastic . So later when i run it out for a test drive i will see what happens , to be honest i did remove the abs sensors before dropping anything out of the was so i know they didnt get pulled or streched. I will report back later.

I had something with ABS sensors when it "got confused" and needed to drive a bit to confirm was all ok - but the distance needed was pretty small, a good few yards and it already had worked out all was well.

Test results as follows

Looks like a loom issue. Could be plug or wires. I was thinking maybe the sensor ring in the hub might be duff, but im hoping it isnt that ive still got the one that came off but id had to swap the lower balljoint as the one that came off is rubbish, if this dint cure the issue then it would be a waste of effort. My first point of call is to open the loom fully and see where this possible earth issue is. I checked earlier but only to the main loom so will need to dig deeper

Autumn on the way !

Ok , so i had a play around. The spare sensor was of course different , so ive popped the original one back on . Now showing the mph on each wheel.
The abs went off but the esp is still on . Ive checked the angle and my results came back as in simple terms .. all normal. So everything now back as it should be and knowing that its reading from driver side front i know the sensor ring on the bearing is ok. Ive cleared the codes & next time i use the car i know its going to throw up the same 2 faults after a few miles . If it happens i dont know what, i cant see by just replacing a damaged hub and replacing the pair as we all know when hub bearings need doing you do both , old units out new in thats it, not to mention lower arms , ball joints inner & out tie rods ,drop links all new, ive done the tracking myself with a tight string line and its not wandering or floating off where it shouldnt be , bloody baffling me this is. All thanks to a pot hole.

Just checking: test drive completed since latest swapping about?

(As think it's the ESP that need ls a bit of distance travelling "with everything normal" before it's happy again)

I ran out of daylight & was getting knackered & passed supper time handnt eaten which for me isnt best to do , so all i did was drive about 10 yards with maxicom running and all wheels were now showing same speed. I did move to car just now all warning lights on dash went out as they do BUT yet still need to drive it a few miles. Im using the c3 picasso today as got hospital stuff so later i will drive 308. My results will be posted.

At least i know what loom the abs sensor is for my side and the color plus its route plus the lenght is abiut 24,28 inches so if needs must i can chop and swap then solder any thats bad, BUT this might not be needed becase the speed was being picked up again when i put the original sensor back on.
The one i swapped out in was a GF25 , the one on it from factory GF15... so slight differences there. Mines GF15.

How to Manually Reset a Steering Sensor
Park your vehicle on a level surface and turn the key to the “ON” position without starting the engine.
Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and fully to the right at least 3 times.
Turn the key to the “OFF” position and restart the car.


Havnt tried yet but will later today .


Not sure about this , if the steering has an electric pump is this safe to do ?

Woke sensors ?.............

Handy tool

Major driving miles today and no warnings on the dash & a very nice ride too. As i recall the original sensor was scuffed on one side and this was almost touching the pick up ring itself . So from the evening before last i took it off sanded it flat which im not sure if ive mentioned earlier posta back & today no abs or esp came up at all . Car drives in a straight line for as long as i tested it , no issue there. So all is good .

I did however before leaving turned the wheels either way 3 x with engine running then turned it off , so not sure if that helped too. But id say the abs sensor being scuffed was the problem.

Im wanting to add a light bar to the front of the c3 picasso
How would i wire this switch ?

Light bar just has red & black wires.

[MattBLancs]

Is the switch illuminated too? I'd guess that would account for another couple of wires (could be wired to illuminate when switch is on as a tell-tale or to illuminate when the main lights (and interior dash lighting) are on.

[Huskyxantia]

Yes , it lights up when the lamps are switched on , as to let you know its on.
