    The Ve lives again (sorta)

    hello, yep they can be a pain these VE's' now back to the original problem with the ABS and traction control but no hurry because now i can get started to get back to rebuilding the Pajero and then maybe just sell the VE with faults or have a go and fix it. Cheers

    hello, i have not wasted any money at all. The alternator was faulty so a new one needed(now i have already determined that it is now not charging, now that is thru either no voltage coming down the wire for the 'F' terminal or even though its brand new it could be faulty, i think as in fu...

    hello and sorry for bothering you again. The ECM is the module located under the fuse box in the D/S of the engine bay, any other modules that i should be concerned with. cheers

    ok then that would mean that it is the ECM that send a voltage down that wire to excite the stator windings and create the EF. That might explain why when i switch on the key (no start) for a few milliseconds the needle on the IC go the wrong way (like a reverse polarity) and then when i turn to...

    this is correct that is why i have been asking questions, i will repeat my self, you don't just driving along then all of a sudden chimes start going off warning you the you have a wheel speed sensor issue. so upon further investigation it shows i have a fault for each wheel sensor (so one...

    my ongoing saga with this money gulping piece of VE crap

    from what i have been able to gather so far is there should be +12v down one wire then as the (i am guessing here) magnet passes the tip of the sensor creates a magnetic field with in the sensor and send the signal up to the EBCU, so this is similar to a crankshaft sensor or a camshaft sensor...
