Another ABS Light Thread
This has been annoying me since I changed the brakes on my 2006 Hawkeye. ABS light on yet I can't find the fault. It stays lit even before the engine is on so I don't think it's mucky sensors or a problem with the tone rings but a problem with the electrical side of the system. I changed the backplates of the rear hubs for the new brakes which obviously meant swapping the abs sensors over. They were really stuck so I had to use the grinder on the bolts and press on the sensors so I assumed I had just knackered those sensors. They still show the correct resistance though and I even plugged in some spare sensors and the light is still showing. Battery has been disconnected for an afternoon too to hopefully reset things but that didn't help.
Is there a way on the Hawkeye's to read the code without SSM? I know earlier cars had a plug under the wheel but I don't think the Hawk has one. Or is there a way to reset the light to see if it reappears or if it was just a hiccup in the system. I would just ignore the problem (stupid I know) but the mot is due in a few weeks so it needs to be sorted for that.

Only a more sophisticated scan tool with appropriate ABS module.
For example

Ended up ordering the Autel ML629 (newer version of what Don linked) and it worked a treat. Read the codes on the ABS module (both rear sensors) and cleared them. Light didn't come back on with the ignition so I suspect the computer was just holding onto the codes after I had disconnected them. We'll see if the light comes back after a bit of driving then I'll replace the sensors in that case.
