Intermittent ABS fault - help please

[Rawhide]

Hi my 2005 Clio 182 full fat has an intermittent ABS fault which triggers the service light. The fault clears upon restart but may or may not re appear but usually does eventually.

It can come on whilst idling in traffic or whilst moving, or not at all.

I dont have CLIP but my generic code reader gave me this code.

AI seems to think this is ABS pump related. This sounds quite drastic. Any ideas?

Need a scanner that can give better info.

A half decent one will usually tell you what it is.

Most likely a sensor.

Thanks - I bought a couple of rear sensors from link I found on here. I think the fronts are the same each side. However before I change them I thought it might be better to diagnose. I was assuming as its intermittent it might be a wiring issue. The steering angle sensor I think would always show a fault. Failed sensors likewise?

Im trying to find an RS Tuner as I think they can diagnose ABS issues.

Where are you located?

Maybe someone local could scan it for you.

Rstuner needs add on module for abs. Best off using clip, if you are near teesside i can scan it.

Yea don't just be randomly buying parts without even half an idea where the fault is located. Hopefully a sensor, could be a trigger wheel or wiring fault too.
