Have a look in FILES/Tutorials.
directly under the AULRO banner, right hand end.
As stated in TGO, wheel sensor faults are easy to locate/determine.
just do option B if its not a wheels sensor.
Dont spend a million dollars on repair kits or new parts.
Good work! :DQuote:

The original shuttle valve had been modified to Option B. As I didn't know this back then, I just replaced the old with the new, connecting it up as it should be. This fixed the fault. Until now....
So...something leads me to believe that the fault isn't with the new shuttle valve, and actually points to something else. What's the best way to rule out the sensors and, if they're OK, where else should I look...?!
Cheers, mate.

all you need to know about fixing our three friends is in The Good Oil,,
for wheel sensors, just jack up one wheel at a time(only has to be just off the ground) start the car, put in gear, see if speedo moves.
If it does, that sensor is working.
no fancy gizmos required!
and its usually not the sensor, its the join between the two sensor cables that stuffs up.
'tis why they only sell one long cable now.
Don't want to labour the point ( yet here i am) - push the wire / connector into the connector block from the back of the block. Mine was loose in the connector block so didn't make connect all the time = 3 amigoes...Quote:

Faults which reset are shuttle valve related.Quote:

Its all in the good oil........
......... any faults shown on a Nanocom or any other diagnostic tool will only direct you to the related component.
IE it may or may not be the shuttle valve but it is definitely associated with that component/circuit.
Which means you still have to fault find the related circuit/s. which is what Bsperka is pointing out also.
The good oil has multiple posts on this......
did I mention the "Good Oil"
Thanks for making it clearer, Strangy. I didn't actually realise that the fault pointed to a particular area, or that the lights remained on with the sensor fault after 3 resets. I should read The Good Oil. And yes, you did mention The Good Oil...! :DQuote:
