My iid tool tells me i have the rear right wheel speed sensor is open circuit, what is that and what needs to be fixed,please advise.
Is this another of the electrickery things or is it important.

ABS speed sensor either broken, or reluctor ring rusted away and not doing its job anymore .

Hello again, still no joy with my suspension problem. I lifted the back and removed the wheel arch lining to see better, removed the sensor easily, unpluged it gave it all a clean, nothing noticable, looked like new.lol then while under the car i noticed the left tire looked a bit worn on the inner edge, on a closer look i could see wire both rear tyres had the inner edge worn right through, an imminant blowout. Put the spare on the worst worn side and connected the Iid tool. All faults cleared and suspension working fine, up down up down. booked the car in for two new tyres and a wheel alignment. Went to pick up the car and, you guessed it BONG, llights all on. Connect the Iid tool rear right wheel speed sensor open circuit, this time the Iid tool wont clear the fault so i am stuck in ride height.any ideas gratefuly accepted.

I have this problem at the moment.

Hopefully fitting a new wheel speed sensor will rectify it. Current cars:

Let us know how it goes, my sensor looked like new, and a new sensor her in the nanny country is big dollars

So did mine!

How quickly do you want a sensor? I bought the wrong one initially, which I believe should work with pre 07 cars.

Could send it to you for postage cost.

PM me with the cost , not urgent but you know how painful it is to have something that doesn,t work, thanks for the offer, are all thesensors the same except for the length of the connector?

No idea.

Just know that pre 07MY the part number for the rear sensor is SSF000021 and 07MY upto 10MY is SSF500021. Current cars:

Yes that seems to be the correct sensor, please pm me how much to buy and send to Perth West Australia.appreciate you response.

Postage is £9.55 according to Royal Mail. They think it's also 5-7 working days delivery, which I'll take with a pinch of salt.

The sensor cost £20, but I'm not asking anything for it.

The plot thickens, today while driving at about 50kph i applyed brakes and got a loud grating sound from the front and BONG the suspension inactive and ABS lights were on, braked again , no noise, parked for a while and then when driving home same again, grinding noise when i apply brakes and dash lights up but brakes work as normal drives normal except for suspension inactive and ABS lights. Very unsettling at the least. Any ideas? I will check with my Iir tool to see what faults if any. Thanks ahead of time.

Why do you not suspect pads worn through?

The grinding noise is only momentary when the dash lights come on there is no noise and brakes work as normal but no suspension alteration. If was worn brakes wouldn,t it grind all the time?
