- VE Omega Wagon 2010
Several days ago, the ABS fault light and Stability Control fault came on while I was driving, my very low k's VE Wagon.
Since then, both lights come on as soon as ignition turned on. Car starts fine.
My OBD2 reader always shows NO DTC codes - even with sensors unplugged. I have seen other codes appear when my reader used on other cars.
I have read here that the rear wheel ABS sensors are the likely fault so have ordered 2 on eBay from $20 but no delivery as yet.
It is not clear from previous discussions whether their errors come up after car moves or when stationary like my problem.
Meanwhile, I have removed both rear sensors - wiring and sensors looked ok.
Other youtube videos relating to this problem explain that abs sensors should measure between 800 ohms and 2300 ohms.
Both of mine measure between 1.4M ohms and 9M ohms depending on meter polarity on pins - 4 different readings and nothing like 800 ohms ( I also used 2 meters ).
I find it difficult to imagine that both sensors failed together. How does the ABS unit test these sensors ??
Does anyone know how this ABS testing operates - maybe my ABS control unit is faulty.
Very confusing. Any ideas appreciated.
