Hi all,
My daughter's 2008 i10 first gen has had an ABS light fault which I thought that we'd fixed. It was coming on and off randomly before.
Brake system in very good order otherwise and it's just past it's MOT (light was off at time of test - phew!) so I'm not aware of any excessive play in wheel bearings etc.
Diagnostic reader at local garage indicated front off side ABS sensor fault so they've replaced that, and also the ABS ring on the CV joint whilst in there as they found a hairline crack in the ring itself.
System has behaved for several days with the normal 2 second diagnostic check at start up then clicking off (including local slow and fast motorway driving) but after driving slowly across a poorly surfaced carpark last night, the light came on again and has stayed on apparently during driving until today, when it went off on my daughter's commute to work, a fast motorway commute of about 20 mins duration.
The garage is more than happy to re-read the diagnostics and see if they can figure out what's up now, and also obtain a replacement new sensor if it's the new one that's faulty but I wondered if I was missing something obvious here?
The new sensor is a proper Hyundai part. I'm assuming that the ABS ring they've replaced in the CV joint area is the same part as the "tone ring" other forum members have mentioned so surely we've repaired the active parts in that area, or is there something else?
The reference to it playing up after bumping slowly across a poorly surfaced car park could imply loose wiring maybe?
Is the ABS system controlled by the same module as the SBS (airbag) system that is located in the center console under the handbrake lever? I'm not aware of a fault on it but I did replace it 2 years ago from a donor car for an SBS light fault - no problems with it since.
Does the ABS system monitor the brake light activation at all? I did replace the foot brake switch last year - again with no further problems.
Would greatly appreciate any remedy suggestions of basic things to check. The garage we use is very good but I have no time to do this myself at the moment and it seems that the only way to fix these kind of faults sometimes is to replace parts. Expensive!!
Many thanks
