ABS Light on now after replacing Swivel Hub Seals - What have I done wrong?

[Robmacca]

Guys, I replaced the swivel hub ball and all the associated seals, etc and took it for a drive and noticed that that the ABS light on my MY10 Defender 110 stayed on. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the sensor needs pushing further in but I'm unsure if u can push them too far in?
Also, it this something I that I need to use my Nancom on to reset something in the ECU?? Unsure.... looking for advice here... ;)

thanks in advance

Make sure the sensor is pushed home and check that wiring has not been damaged. If you have a nanocom clear the fault first and go for a drive and see if it rescuers.

Yep. Clear the fault first, see what happens. Worked for me. OK, I have a Disco, but it's pretty much the same.

OK... so when I had the swivel hub all apart - it looked like the sensor "could" be pushed in to the point where it actually could rub on the CV. We pushed it back in to the point where we thought it was but maybe it may just needs a little bit more??

I'll put the nanacom on it in the next couple of days and see what it says...
