Ok, did some searching on this one but still have some questions. First snow here in Colorado & my ABS is going crazy. I remember it working much better last season. I changed pads a while back & hope I didn't mess something up. Before I pull the fuse I would like to try and fix the problem. Is there a way to clean/re-seat/ the sensors. Does anyone have a pic of where the heck the sensors are in the swivel. Anyone have an experience with re-seating the sensors to get the ABS working again??

thanks as usual - Joe

If you look at your brakes, you'll see the sensor is located on the top (front brakes). Push all the sensors in to make sure they are seated. Once you start driving, the sensors should "gap" or reset themselves. Make sure to check all your fuses in the engine bay/under the steering wheel if that doesn't work. One of my sensors got pulled on a little. After pushing down on all of them, they reset themselves after driving a short distance. There might be some pics in the tech section too.

Hope that helps,
Matt

That's interesting. I changed the front pads and rear pads and rotors on my 2001 Disco2. A week later during a 10 mph sudden stop, the ABS, traction and hill lights came on (along with the warning bells).

I don't recal seeing any sensors, but as I had the calipers off to retract the pistons, I could see that it would be easy to unseat a sensor. Especially one I wasn't paying attention to.

Any idea where I can find a diagram of where it's located? Thanks.
