I have a mini in with abs faulty FL sensor reported. Feeling lazy i took a punt and got the little lad to drop a new sensor in. Still having the fault. Live data shows the speed dropping out intermitantly to zero on the LH. I Check the bearing and no damage to reluctor. I have two abs extension wires made up to help diagnose BMW/mini systems (blue connectors). If I connect the LH sensor to the RH channel and RH sensor to the LH channel I get no faults. If I connect the LH sensor to the LH channel and the RH sensor to the RH channel I get the an intermittent drop out of the signal on the LH front. I am now very confused. I'm suspecting a controller fault but need to prove it.. I'm also Not sure what to look for if I did scope the leads.
Any ideas? It's not rocket science it's abs but I can't see it.
