Wheel Sensor

Post by merlintilly » Sun Feb 26, 2023 9:33 am

I have an ABS , traction and brake light showing plus no speedo reading. The front NS brake is getting warm, does this show the I have a wheel sensor fault and the ABS system is applying the brake on the offending wheel. Anyone got any advise?

I would suspect two separate issues. The speedo is driven off the rear left wheel, so that is likely to be either the sensor or the reluctor ring (the cage device that that sensor reads from).
The front left is more likely to be a sticky calliper.
However, you could do the sensor first and see what happens.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

In complete agreement with enuff zed. Check your tyre pressures too, in case you have a slow puncture.
