I managed to get a computer reading on the abs light that was on in my VST.
It turns out that it comes up with 3 errors one on the front pas, front driver and rear pas sensors. I have had a quick look under the vehical and think I can see them in place.
Is it likely all three are duff or could it be something else?
I have just changed a duff set of clocks to see this error so it could well have been like it a fair while...
If they are where can I get them cheap or can you get second hand ones cheap anywhere?

it seems unlikely that they will all pack up at once, one way to test if they are working is to go on a piece of land, off road or a very quite road at night, get to about 30 MPH and push hard on the brakes, if the wheels lock up then the ABS system isnt working.
When performing this ensure, there is nobody around and your safe to do so.
If they are duff, a local scrap yard will be able to sell them fairly cheap.
hope you get it sorted.

It could be all three becasue until yesterday the dash was duff and this error has only come to light since I have swapped it out for a new working dash.
I will give the test ago and see.
