fabias68 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hello, I am new to the forum and already I have solved one problem, namely a split in the egr hose. Now for the next one, I have a 2003 (53 plate) 2.0 tdci mondeo and the abs light is on constantly. I have tried a couple of code readers and there is no faults recorded. I have also tested the abs sensors using a meter checking for voltage and I get a reading off all four wheels. Can anyone help as I am kinda stuck.

jeebowhite Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Depending on the code reader your using it might not pick up the error codes. its a diesel which wasnt OBDII compliant as standard until 2004, so its possible that you still have OBDI compliancy. Which devices did you use? Basically what you probably have is either a bad ABS Sensor or bad short loom. Either way you need the error code to tell you which wheel is the issue.

fabias68 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Which should I be looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Depends what you want. If you want to use a laptop get modified Elm, if you just want basic codes and eml light clearing get something like a basic handheld or torque, if you want more capability a handheld with access to more modules is necessary. There is no right or wrong answer, it goes on what you have access to and what your budget is. My guide should help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I think thats saying that the Left Rear wheel is not picking up a signal, it could be a bad wire, or it could be a bad sensor. I had this issue on my front right wheel, turns out it was the short loom that was affected. Ideally you would be best placed to have the wire checked, if you can get hold of a new sensor for cheap, you could just plug it in and see if the error light goes out. if not, that would indicate that perhaps the loom is moreso affected. Ford charged me £65 to diagnose and £55ish for the loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
