There's a club member who has a '92 RRC parts truck, and thinks the ABS sensor (front left) might work in my D2. Can anyone confirm this? He said it would be about a 10 minute job to swap it out. Cerrone's quoted me 2 hours for the labor and the ABS sensor they can get is an updated version, so the entire ABS modulator doen't need replacing.

 

no, totally different. and the new sensor will be a new style, no connector, wires up to the ecu itself, however, no idea why a sensor would need to have the modulator replaced

 

Modulator doesn't need replacement, sorry, I was distracted at the end of the post. So, if the newer version is wired directly to the ecu, how is it different from what I have now? Is the connector the reason for the 3 amigos? Could you explain a little further Roverguy7? Thanks

 

sometimes, yes, dont try to clean them, itll come back if this is the cause, but thats why the changed style, bad contact inside the connector, sensors do fail though, if its an open circuit fault, replace the sensor with a new style one. if its a 'erratic signal' fault, you probably need a new hub, the magnetic reluctor inside the bearing gets a little too much play in it and causes false readings. aftermarket brakes can cause sensor faults too. be it pad chatter or evenly spaced cooling vents on the front rotors, the vents can cause a harmonic resonance that can be picked up by the sensor and cause a false reading, look at your rotors, if theyre factory, the vents a not spaced normally, this was done for a reason
