The_Bronze Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hey bud, Not sure on those to be honest, I did find this though: http://www.type-ra.com/subaru-forum/threads/subaru-fault-codes.4535/ and http://www.troublecodes.net/subaru/ Not sure if that's any help though! They're a knowledgeable lot on here though and hopefully someone can go into it a little more detailed than I can :) What's actually wrong with the car?

The_Bronze Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've seen new sensors on eBay for £50 so not quite so bad! That said, try a full system ECU reset, I'm not sure if this will also clear ABS fault lights but I think from memory it resets everything. That said, if there's a genuine fault the light will just come back on. Check the wiring to the wheel sensors and fuses for the ABS system. Also check the wiring plugs at the sensors to make sure they're making good contact and that there's no water or corrosion present, I find cans of cheap brake/carb cleaner are excellent for cleaning contacts! Also check the sensors themselves, if there's any muck, dirt, grease or metal shavings on them it can affect the way they work. They're held in by one bolt I think so just whip them out and clean them if necessary. If that doesn't help also check the condition of the toothed reluctor rings to make sure they're not cracked or damaged or dirty (though they're pretty well protected from the elements in these cars unlike some others). Again, a solvent type brake/carb cleaner is excellent and ideal! Has the car been through any deep water or in really muddy conditions before the ABS light came on? Is the ABS system definitely disabled? you can check by finding some gravel somewhere and just diving on the brakes at a low speed, if you lock up then it's definitely down! The ECU reset procedure is here : http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/ECUReset I'm not at all sure if this will reset the ABS light though. Don't be alarmed when you do this, the car will start clicking its relays, priming the fuel pump off and on continually and running the radiator fans at different speeds, it's all part of the procedure so don't worry! There's a good source of info and reset procedures here aswell: http://www.saxonfields.freeserve.co.uk/Scooby%20Page/ECU%20Diag%20Page.htm#_Reading_ECU_Codes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
