Abs light reverse only

<< < (2/3) > >>

Frankie-Boy:

I had exactly the problem you describe, when the hub was checked it was found to be excessive play in the wheel bearing and CV joint causing a change in the air gap, after the items were changed the problem disappeared.

Regards

Aren't LRs fun - I can get my ABS warning light (which stays on a lot dues to a knackered axle end case bush allowing the CV to move about) to go OFF if I reverse - pulling away from start up going forward it stays on, but start off by reversing a few feet first and it goes out - how wierd!

Not helping you out any Growler8, just thought I'd share it.......

I'm with RRB that its the back-lash showing up an air-gap problem..........

GROWLERV8:
Thanks for replies
I will  try and explain a bit clearer. 1 select reverse back up 10ft or so light stays on {as it should I think} select first forward gear and drive off light will not go out {Turn ignition off and re start pull of in forward gear all OK light goes out}
2 select reverse back up until light gos out select first forward gear and all remains OK{light out}
3 select first forward gear and drive off {allways OK light allways goes off
4 Light only plays silly games if it is not put out when i reverse

   Thanks again will have a check round her Saturday so any other help greatly appreciated

Yeah sounds very much like an air-gap problem - just tap the sensors back in with a spanner on your 'check round her'....

Its like my fault only in reverse and that usually works for me for a few weeks then I need to do it again.....

GROWLERV8:
Thanks Gents
Looks like it was an air gap
Pushed sensors back  as advised and 
YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE all OK for now   
Thanks for all the advice
Rich
