Rear wheel speed sensor.

My ABS light has come on and shows fault with wheel speed sensor, ie; Rear left wheel speed sensor G46 faulty, can anything be done with these sensors? or is it best to just renew them?. Thank you. J B D !lol

There could be a bit of dirt/mud on the sensor that is stopping it from reading,you could try and clean it but that's about as much as you can do,there are no servicable parts in it.

Have you changed your pads or anything on the rear axle since the light has come on.

Try checking under the rear seat to check if the wiring is ok.

If not then it's most likley the sensor

Thanks everyone for reply, I put the car in lock-up on the Friday started it up on the Monday morning and the ABS light came on! I put it into garage to have complete overhaul of rear brakes 2 weeks ago new drilled discs and green stuff pads etc, mechanic said there was nothing wrong with ABS ring or sensor (ie Nor dirt or stones)although he never removed the sensor so I guess it's the sensor, just priced one from GSF

In that cas the mechanic might have moved the sensor silghtly or it have got some dirt on it.

This happend to me when i had my rear disc and pads changed. The light came on couple of days later, had it checked out and was told the sensor was showing fault. Bought a new sensor and booked it in to have it fitted. Couple of days later light went out and has been out since.

Just drive around in it for a few days and see if it settels down. If not just take the old sensor out and give it a clean.
