Fault Clearing

[Gillie]

I have searched alot for this answer but cannot find it. I have had the thee amigos for some time and the lights are on all the time. The fault was a faulty front right wheel sensor.
After replacing the wheel sensor I have tested it at the SLABS unit with a CRO. I now get the both front wheel sensors working at the SLABS as they should, but cannot get a speedo reading on the what used to be the faulty wheel sensor.

Now bear in mind that I didn't get a reading with the CRO on the faulty sensor but after replacing it I do. Therefore I believe the probem to be fixed and those three little bastards to **** off on a reset.

The question is........ Without a nanocom to reset should I still get a speedo reading for that wheel if jacked up and put in gear? Or as the fault is on all the time does the SLABS not read the input and therefore gives no output until a reset is done?

By the way, The CRO was the best way to test and helped immensley in fault finding. The old cable had a fault were it flexes at the back of the hub when you steer Left to right or right to left.

After some more thought on this, I believe that maybe the SLABS does not read an output to a faulty wheel sensor if the fault is logged more than "x" amount of times and therefore captures the fault making it easier to diagnose intermittent problems?
If this is the case then I wouldn't expect to see a reading at the speedo until faults are cleared for that sensor. I guess I won't fully know until I get the fault cleared.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter?

If the system thinks that a sensor is bad/wrong/faulty I think it averages the other 3 sensors for the speedo.

I'm not 100% on this so maybe it will need to be confirmed or denied.


I'd be clearing the fault with Nanocom and go from there.

the answer is ............... whilst the three amigoes are on you will NOT get a speedo reading after repairing a faulty wheel sensor until you clear the faults.

Therefore don't expect to know whether or not you have fixed the problem until you can reset the faults.

bye bye three amigoes!
