ABS Problems/Diagnostics
Discussion
Hey guys,
Recently had front right wheel bearing replaced on a Honda Jazz 2004, now the ABS light has come on. Mechanic told me it was probably the sensor, which I had replaced but the light was still on.
Took the car in for some diagnostics, and the 2nd mechanic told me the pump/modulator had failed. I've now had the pump replaced, but the light is still on!
Bought a cheapish diagnostic tool to try and figure out what was wrong, and the error showing is for the front right pulsar (sensor?) Cleared the code and the same code comes back up.
My gut feel is that the guy who fitted the bearing has messed it up. Having done some research, the ABS has a magnetic ring built into the bearing, which is picked up by the sensor. This has to be installed the right way round for it to pick up, so either it's in the wrong way round, or he's damaged something in the process.
I'm reluctant to take it back to the first mechanic as he obviously fobbed me off and I just don't trust him.
Question - using the diagnostic tool, I can see the right and left ABS sensors returning a wheel speed whilst driving. Would this be the case if the bearing was installed the wrong way?
When i reset the code and drive, I can feel the right brake catching before the ABS disables.
Any other suggestions? Car is out of MOT, so not too keen on driving it around at present. If anyone can help/advise that would be very much appreciated! Based in Watford if anyone is local!
