ABS light constantly on 1.9TD 1998 Xantia please help

Unread post by shaunlfc1 »

Hi all,

The ABS light will not go out on my xantia, the brakes still seem to work fine, but I am assuming one of the sensors is faulty. How do find out which one it is without having to replace them all?

I will check the obvious "sh*t " on the sensors but I am not that lucky. So if there anyway of knowing or testing each sensor?

Cheers all,

Shaun

I think a Lexia or earlier diag will tell which sensor.

Check the multiplugs too, on both the ABS unit and each sensor (usually a few inches away from the sensor there's a plug) for corrosion / damage etc.

Easy and quick solution would be to measure resistances with a multimeter.
