pdc sensor

Post by malc1950 » Thu Jun 14, 2012 3:55 pm

Today i plugged in my v1.4.0 scanner to identify my faulty sensor, it has shown up the faulty one as the rear off side, are all the back sensors the same or are the two outer ones L shaped where they plug in, as i need to order one off Ebay    ::)

All 4 rears are the same.  Two of the fronts are the same too so you have 6 in total all the same.  Only the two outer fronts are L shape.

Second that. If you want to be doubly sure, change the faulty sensor with one of the others and see if the scanner picks it up in the new location.

eBay prices should be £30 and not too much more.

Might be water ingress related?  Has it been dry for the last couple of days?
