Howdy there. My 2005 rodeo Denver 3.0 l has had the abs light stuck on pretty much constantly for 9/10 months now, the brakes work fine (as in they make the car stop and it does it in a straight line) but obviously the abs doesn't function. When I stick my autel code reader on it comes up with right front slow to release. The front right caliper was sticking to the point of smoking when I first got the vehicle but has been replaced and appears to function as it should now. If I clear the fault codes the abs light goes out but first time I try to stop you get the typical abs pulse through the pedal and I effectively have no brakes until the light reilluminates. I've checked as many of the connnections on the loom as I can find so I am coming to the conclusion its probably the sensor at fault. Given that these don't exactly come cheap I was hoping that one of you knowledgeable fellows on here might be able to give me any pointers before I bite the bullet and splash out on a new sensor ready for that glorious time of year that is the mot

can you see the abs ring? it has been known for people to forget to put them on or even get them the wrong way round

As soon as the festivities are over, and I'm no longer on being polite to the in laws duty, I shall have a look    how do I tell if the ring is on the right way round? Thanks for the heads up. James

if no one has done any work on it then i'd say it's probably correct, the abs system doesn't monitor the calipers to know if they are slow to operate so it sounds like it's got an issue with the reading from the ring so either the sensor or the ring is faulty, might pay to just pull the bearings out and have a look
