ABS / DSC fault

Post by Dave ett » Sun Jan 29, 2017 5:14 pm

I have the ABS / DSC lights on, so plugged in INPA to see what's up.

Pressure sender interference triggered 248 times, and steering angle sensor once.

I'm guessing there's a pressure issue! The steering one cleared.

Having read loads on the subject I did some more checks (what a sod it is to get to) and it does seem to be a sender fault:

The voltage varied about 0.2V between brake off and hard on, and INPA showed these:

Firstly brakes off:

Then brakes on as hard as I could:

Assuming I'm reading it correctly, the pressure barely rises.

Anyone confirm or contradict this diagnosis?
