As a "do er" I've tried everything but to no avail.
Abs light is perm on. New silver battery.
Wiring checked for continuity from jnct nr fuel tank to near side rear.
Voltage at all plugs. Rear 2 taken out, cleaned and surfaces de rusted and cleaned. Can't see how to get front two out without dismantling the hub. frown
I'm out of options.but to go to the Stealers.
So, can any vx garage read a hsv code or do I need to go to specialist? I've googled the hell out of this and ended up nowhere. Too much suggestion all over the world and not much fact.
Tia for any advice

I've heard of an automotive electrician said to be something special - he's in WestonSupermare though : best part of 100 miles from you?

The front two are part of the whole wheel bearing hub assembly and can't be bought separately but whilst you're looking st the front, I know it's obvious and you've probably already checked but if all the voltages are correct have you checked the front wheel bearings as this could register a fault if they've got a bit of play in them

Don't use a cheap multimeter on the sensors-some are not induction but hall effect. using a meter will ruin them. Any good independent garage with bosch or launch diagnostics will be able to read holden AND VXR8. my Bosch equipment reads almost evey aspect of VXR8 system, Good luck.
