ABS light illuminated after discs/pads changed - thoughts please


Recommended Posts

I am going to look at another VR6 this evening. The seller has said that the ABS light is currently illuminated and that this only happened after he changed the discs/pads.

Not really being "in the know" I am wondering how true this might be. So, for those more experienced, could that kind of work have caused the symptom and if so, how does one restore normal operation?

TIA. :)

Its probably the ABS sensor that has broken, maybe happened when the person did the brakes, not being very careful.

I have the same problem with my rear right side sensor, costs can vary but if it is just a sensor its not too expensive (should be under £100 for the sensor), however you never know if it is something more serious.

(@) I do know that VR6's suffer from this problem and thats what it is 95% of the time.

when i changed my front discs and pads i left the wire for the sensor slightly looser than it should have been.....thus causing it to rub on the wheel..

after about 3 miles(!!!) it wore through totally and hence put the light on...

he could have done this too???
