Hello everyone,
My 2005 Grande Punto has an ABS fault which is giving code C0031 for left front wheel speed sensor (there is also intermitted code C1215 for the brake light switch but that it intermittent). I took the sensor out and it seems to be fine, no damaged wires but obviously it's difficult to tell.
Before I order a replacement sensor to does anyone have any suggestions for what else might cause this fault? I read elsewhere that a poorly replaced wheel bearing could cause this, so I'll see if I can compare left to right without dismantling everything.
I checked the ABS control unit plug and it all seems clean. I waterproofed the contacts whilst I was at as recommended in the guides section, but it didn't remove the fault code.
Is there anything else anyone can suggest checking? Any tests I could do? I suppose I could test continuity in the sensor, anything else?
Also, whilst I was there, I found another wire attached to the strut which didn't seem to connect to anything. Is this some other sensor? It is in a cable wrap and goes back into the main loom but after that I don't know where it goes.
Thanks
