any abs experts on here? mine is playing up on the escos,when i come to a gradual stop the abs kicks in, this only happens just as you have virtually stopped moving,prob from around 3mph to standstill,it doesnt do it all the time though,the sensors have all been cleaned,and all the pick up rings/teeth are spotless and undamaged,anyone else had similar fault?

Have you checked to make sure there is no corrosion on any terminal to the abs sensors, but it could be a sensor breaking down internally. i have same fault before but on a van

There could also be some dirt on the sensor.I would disconnect the sensor and use a multi meter to check for any resistance.Also if you spin the wheel you should get a signal on the multi meter.The sensors are about 100 quid to buy,dealer part only.

Might sound silly but I assume all your tyres are the same size etc?

We had a fault on a Porsche where guy had put stupid size tyres on one end and sent the ABS wonky. But not sure that an Escos will be that advanced??

Has this fault just reared its ugly head? Or have you done/had work done?
