You have the trifecta Chris. You know what that means? Three pieces of tape.

 

I don't think there is an easy shade tree way. Me thinks you have to have someone with the proper computer thingamajig diagnose that for you.

 

I don't know, I did change the title to something a bit more in line with the subject matter in order to draw more views for you.

 

If it is bad it will generate the error lights on the dash, if not then it is working. Only thing I have ever seen done was to clean up the sensor as they can get dirty and cause intermittent faults.

 

I have been resisting saying take the car out and speed and see if it tells you to slow down. :lol:

 

Easy fix:

Take speedo out.
Put a small piece of 3M black electrical on back of ABS light.
Put speedo back in.

No more stupid light to draw others attention.

 

That's a good idea Dave. I have the ABS, brake abd low tyre pressure lights on. Another little job for the weekends.

 

Seeing as I'm the dumb dumb that removed the senors and ABS I had the use a code scanner to figure out which were good sensors and wiring when I put all the ABS system back. There is a code that shows up for each sensor and when all is well the ABS light should go out....there is a bunch of how too's on Youtube..[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAji_mJsr_w]How to Test ABS Wheel Speed Sensor using the ABS Warning Light!

Now that you remind me, my MINI had to be docked to the mother ships computer too. I was also told it is usually the LF. Couldn't remember the details. Man it is heck getting :sleep:.....

 

Saying that I still have the ABS light on.....due to I don't have the ABS pump, just the module bolted to the heater box. All I needed was the speedo working for the tech test for the street. I barely look at the speedo as I know I'm going bloody fast..hahaha
