Abs fault

[Bravo2zero]

Hi took my transporter for a drive this morning and got a abs fault pop up so plugged my carista in and it came up with there fault I checked live data the sensor seem to be working. What is the likelihood I just need to change the sensor?
Thanks

Bravo 2zero hi and welcome to the T6 Forum. Wheel speed sensors area common small fault that can cause a multitude of problems. It needs to be replaced and the fault codes cleared.

Hi.
As @Kind of Blue says, the sensors are a common point of failure. I changed my right rear sensor two days ago for similar faults.

It was intermittent though and on hotter days the fault would clear. It might just be that that you have a bad connection somewhere in the sensor and it's just flagging the odd times when it fails.

It is also a possibility that the wiring is at fault as this can give similar fault codes. However, the sensor is the most likely and also the easiest thing to try first.
If you have a 2wd van there is a plastic cover which pops off the inside of the wheel bearing. You can then carefully drive the sensor out being cautious not to touch the bearing dust seal.
I had to drill mine a little to assist in the removal but it should come out easily enough from behind.

Remember that you may need to drive it after replacement to clear the fault as the system needs to confirm matching data from the sensors.

I have had 4 changed now. Cause all sorts of problems. On occasion was indeed intermittent for some of them. Mine is a 4Motion.
