3 yellow lights

[bigwinn]

Replaced a lot of the front suspension parts this week- all good however... now the car has thrown the 3 yellow lights warning.

I will get a reader on it when i get home, I'm assuming I have disturbed the ABS sensor or damaged it; are these easy to replace/refit?

Any tips once code is read- can you clean these up or do they need replacing?

|Cheers

The wheel speed sensors can get metallic material stuck to them and require cleaning.
Be careful when removing the bolt retaining the sensor. They are very soft and break easily.

I looked at them when doing the wishbones

Are they plastic and held in by Allen bolts?

Yeh, that's them.
They are also quite a tight fit in their hole. Often takes a good bit of force (and patience) to pop them out.

cheers- will have a look

will also probably break it as it looked flimsy!

I managed to snap one of the bolts
Lots of plusgas should get them out in one piece.

Which 3 lights do you have on exactly?

Yep, ABS sensor would be prime suspect. Code reader would tell you which one, or just check them all. Easy enough to clean / replace.

Thank you- Ironically they all went out when I changed my blow out yesterday

Will still pull them and have a clean
