Speed sensor fault / ABS sensors?
Hi all,
Quick Q - I've searched this (and several other) forums for an answer, but haven't come up with anything definitive yet. My '02 Freelander is throwing error code 500 (speed sensor fault), with the usual F4, TC, HDC and ABS lights festooning the dashboard.
Unfortunately, the car isn't telling me *which* speed sensor is out - does anyone know any way to test the sensors themselves? On the Discovery, each sensor was a specific resistance at 'idle' - around 3.5Mohm if memory serves. Is there a similar test for the Freelander ABS sensors? They look completely different, so I didn't want to risk breaking anything before I even get started
Furthermore - and assuming I can find and fix the duff sensor - how does one reset the fault lights? I can reset the 'service engine' light - do the other fault lights clear when the fault is remedied?
Any pointers/advice/encouragement much appreciated!

Try the Freelander forum at www.landyzone.co.uk. Use the serach facility and you will find some useful stuff.

Oh, that's interesting - the link to www.landyzone.co.uk is blocked. What's the point in censoring the word landyzone?
