Ford Puma ABS and TC light.
Discussion
Hey, have a 2001 Puma 1.7 with the traction control/ABS lights on in the dash. Brakes feel fine though initially it did feel like the ABS was kicking in.
I'm presuming its a ABS sensor but how many is there? Is there some computer software I can get hold of to tell me which one? Is it a easy replacement and where's the best place to buy them as there seems to be a great difference in prices.
Cheers.

Sensor,common problem i`m afraid. More than likely be one of the fronts, if you can find someone with the right diagnostic machine you will be able to pin point the right one. I got mine off E-Bay, £28, for that money i changed both sides.
Jack up the car, take off the wheel, remove the inner dirt shield/arch disconnect the multiplug above the suspension strut, undo the 8mm bolt securing the sensor to the hub, try and remove the old sensor, it will probabilly fall apart when you remove it and you might have to drill it out, it is only plastic so no real sweat, clean up the housing, before replacing so it slides in smoothly, plug in the multiplug, refit arch,and wheel, then road test, the light will only go out after the car has done it self testing check. Any problems give me a shout.
