Actually called a reluctor ring.

Hopefully the garage can pin it down - reason I asked about the engine is that in some variants (e.g. the 1.6 HDi) certain engine faults can cause loss of engine speed info to the ABS / ESP computer which confuses it, but it doesn't always put the engine management light on. Caused me no end of going round in circles on our C4 Picasso trying to work out why it kept putting the handbrake warning light on - eventually turned out to be the EGR valve!!

It'll have stored a fault code so the guy reading it should find a reason :wink:
Has anyone seen the plot? :?

Update- guy at garage showed me there was no error codes at all, the ABS has been working fine all day and no faulty message showing up when driving around, he said could be a dirty reluctor ring but they look ok.🤔🤔, guess i will just wait to see if it pops up again and just drive it straight to him while the faulty ABS is there.

There should be a fault log that can be read, but you’ll probably need a Lexia do read it. This stores log of triggered codes, so you could at least see whIch one was being triggered.
