Default ABS warning light on, 2wd Cossie.

ABS light goes out after about 15 secs of starting the car but comes back on as soon as you go over about 18mph. I removed the front sensors & cleaned them but i may be wrong in that i only cleaned the ends of the sensor & greased the outside metal drum bit, i'm wondering if that is an earth or something maybe i shouldn't have greased it.

Any help appreciated.

Simon.

could be one of the back sensors...

also could be a speed inballance in the wheels, is one tyre significantly more worn than the others, or are the fronts worn more than the backs etc....

no probs with tyres,all about 5mm. Will check the rear sensors in the next few days.

you need a bright shiny earth where the sensor screws into the hub
