View Full Version : Puma ABS sensor fault - How to clear

I had the rear disc stone guard on my 130 crack and fall off today, I suspect that it dislodged the ABS sensor enough to stop it reading and caused an ABS fault. There is no damage to the sensor or wiring that I can see and the sensor pushed back in about 10mm once I had removed the broken stone shield. My question is how do you clear the ABS and traction control lights, or do they self clear. I've done some searching and it appears that they might clear themselves when the ECU is happy but I'm not sure that this applies to a Puma.
I'm also assuming that the correct position for the sensor is to push it in until it stops.

Any ideas?

Im not sure, I assume you have no fault tool.
So the 1st thing I would do is disconnect the battery wait a few hours then reconnect.

Then check again.

Took it for a drive this morning, the lights magically went off after driving down the driveway at about 10 KM/H for a little way.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge... but what year did the Puma 130's come out with ABS Brakes ??

It was an option on mine which was ordered June 2015 and ended up being a MY2016 model

Link to 2015 specifications, it was a $2500 option. https://www.landrover.com.au/Images/LR9624_2015_Defender_Spec_Sheet_300x215_Con_LR_tcm 296-122934.pdf

Only just saw your post now Tote.

I had the same thing happen to me on a round Oz lap. Both shields fatigued and heard them rattling about (albeit a few thousand Kay’s apart) so one is in the bush in WA and the other is in the NT.
First time round I was pretty concerned as we were just beginning the GRR and the puma was the first car I’d ever tried to sort ABS on [emoji51][emoji51]
Like you though, I just pulled the sensor out, cleaned it and pushed it back in. Drove at low speed and voila, she sorted herself.

No ABS on my td5 130 now though

Btw anyone got a nannocom they want to sell?

ToteIs that the same as what normally happens in our Puma when you start up and the sensor does a test and then goes out as you accelerate?

Mine goes out when stationary a couple of seconds after starting if there is no fault logged.

Could be wrong, but I think ours goes out at about 6-8 km/h.
