Abs Light On

[Dobrn3]

Hi I have a Ford Galaxy 2001 2.6 my ABS light is on I have had both ABS rings replaced but my ABS light is still on any ideas or any any help can this be fuse that need replacing

There will be rings on the rear and front so should be 4 in total. it may be a sensor causing the issue. Best bet rather than randomly guessing is to use vcds and a compatible lead to read the codes from the abs and then you will know which wheel you should be looking at etc rather than guessing and possibly introducing more faults in the process.

Thank you l got a u480 and that come up with no error codes but l did not know the was rings on the back as well had two replaced on the front

[Dobrn3]

Is the any way l can see which ring on the back needs replacing

yes use VCDS - your u840 only looks at the engine nothing more, the other systems on the car need VCDS to look at them. Free version of VCDS and a suitable cable off ebay should only cost around £10. It may not be the rings it could be broken wires/sensor dislodged etc. You will find the vcds lead will be useful for some other stuff as well in time.

You need a computer of some sort (laptop ideally) to connect the cable/car to as well. Doesn't need to be anything too fancy as long as it runs windows.
