I should conclude the story of my ABS light coming on and scuffing
tires at slow speed, as it might be a help.
Back in November I was determined to get rid of the ABS OFF light
coming on and this tire scrubbing, so I disconnected all 4 ABS sensors
and measured the resistance across each one, hoping to detect an
anomaly. The front right one was slightly different, so I ordered and
installed a new ABS sensor for just this wheel.
I then tested the car but the problem still wasn't fixed. I forgot
about the repair in frustration.
Last week, I ordered the two rear sensors. I was about to begin
installation, when I noticed that I had forgotten to reconnect the
left rear sensor underneath the rear seat. It had been disconnected
since November.
Bingo, problem solved. So the front right one was bad after all and I
never knew it. Bang head against wall!
So it you need a rear ABS sensor, I have two at a reasonable price!! :)
Mark.
