Default 2wd Cossie ABS

I've been searching all the abs posts but can't find one that's the same problem as mine.

I have an issue where the abs kicks in as you're pulling up at about 3-4 mph. You can hear the relay and pump go nuts even if you're not touching the pedal. The light isn't coming on telling me there's a fault.

I've put 3 door hubs on my Saph recently but I used my original sensors as I thought they were the same. Also, is the abs toothed ring the same on the 3 door and Saph?

I don't have a problem with the light coming on. It all works as it should. It's just when pulling up where the brakes let go and the pedal pushes back.

I've checked all the sensors against the values posted on here and they all seem perfect. I've taken the sensors out and cleaned them and the rings. Everything looks fine. I'm pulling my hair out now!

Any advice will be greatly received!

Paul

Ok, I've changed all the sensors, the ABS ECU and cleaned all the teeth on the ABS rings.
The abs still kicks in at about 2-3 mph even when not touching the brake pedal. ��

It's a 2wd Saph but with 3door front hubs. Does anyone know if the rings are the same on each type of hub?

it'll be either a dodgy sensor or one of the relays

mine used to do it when the wheel bearing was on the way out so it's worth investigating
