Brakes - Rear ABS Sensor Signal Fault
No: 70/01/00/NASRef:
*Issue: 3
Date: 04/06/01*
ABS Sensor Sealing Boot Installation
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Range Rover (LP) All
* indicates updated information
SITUATION:
REAR ABS SENSOR SIGNAL FAULT
Under certain weather conditions the rear ABS sensor can be "lifted" away from the reluctor ring, reducing sensor sensitivity and ultimately causing the ABS system to set a fault. Water ingress or other contaminants around the sensor housing can also cause corrosion of the toothed reluctor ring, causing signal errors.
RESOLUTION:
INSTALL NEW ABS SENSOR SEAL
A new rubber sensor seal has been developed to ensure proper protection of the rear sensors. A properly sealed sensor reduces contamination or the tendency for the sensor to back out of the axle housing during adverse weather conditions.
PARTS INFORMATION:
