On the LHD cars they are screwed into the underside of the Brake Master Cylinder ... if you have DSTC

Does the wiring plug just pull off the sensor to enable cleaning?

Hi everyone,
I've replaced the sensor 2 today.
If you are standing in front of the car, first one is closer towards driver side is Sensor 1 and the one closer to passenger side wheel is Sensor 2.

I just used the hole on top with a screwdriver and used a wrench to undo the bottom bit .
Replaced it quickly, had a slight brake oil leak. I might bled next week.


In the same time. I replaced the motor aswell.
Cleaned all contacts with contact cleaner.

Any one struggling to put back the small metal part which mates with the motor axle, the easy way is apply grease and polish it with screwdrive. It will slide easily.

ABS and brake service message disappeared straight away.


Hope this will sort it for long time.Will update if come back again.

Hi,

Would you be so kind as to tell me where the ABS motor is? I need to check the contacts to it.

Yes. Mine is RHD.
The motor sits below the fuse panel on the passenger side, secured by TORX screws.
