abs esp and tyre pressure lights even though ive fixed the issue

[josh6nine]

Hi all, Ive got the normal problem of the three abs related lights on the dash. All come on after a certain speed obviously like they do when the abs sensor isn't working. my sh*tty code reader was showing code 00287 and 00290 which is the rear right and left abs speed sensors. The only issue with this is that I've replaced them both with a genuine parts and the lights still wont go away. I've deleted them on the scanner but the 00287 still comes up every time I drive the car ! The other issue I had was the handbrake light flashing with three beeps after a few hundred meters but thats stopped since I've replaced the sensors.
Why wont the code go away now I've sorted the problem ?

Usual issue with this is the ABS sensor ring that is built in to the rear wheel bearing.  This will also give you the 3 warning lights.
I've got the same warning lights on mine and it's going in for rear bearing doing at the end of the month.

It's annoying because there's absolutely nothing wrong with the bearing, but it's the only way of replacing the ABS sensor ring.

so ill just get a new wheel bearing then ? just had a look on ebay and theyre about 40 quid that sound about right ?

That's pretty cheap to be honest, won't be very good quality.
I wouldn't skimp on wheel bearings, you don't want them wearing out too quickly.

I've gone for the higher end bearings from Euro Car Parts

I replaced wheel bearing and sorted my problem!

Got a proper one ordered 60 quid, so I'll get that on asap and hopefully it'll sort the issue. Cheers guys

Good info

Just had this done on mine....wheel hub and bearing replaced with ABS wiring loom at stealers costing £320 #pia

[chigmuss]

I'd +1 to OEM wheel bearing putting a smile back on your face. My indie see a lot of these across the VAG cars throwing up this fault. £320 is definitely a dealer price, mine was less than half that for the r/n/s. Let us know if it cures it...

[josh6nine]

Fitted the new oem bearing tonight took it out for a drive all the lights gone and abs and esp all working perfectly, £60 well spent ! Cheers for all the info guys.

We had this a few years ago, it turned out to be a steering angle sensor.

If it’s just the lights but no error codes, it could be the battery, a new one fixed it for us

My post from another thread…

Replaced the battery, it still had the original !

We had been getting frequent dashboard lights at startup (PowerSteering, ESP, Tyre Pressure) that would go away after a few minutes. Had it checked but no fault codes, mentioned that the electric windows were a bit slow to respond and he also noticed the ignition sounded sightly laboured, checked under the hood and advised that it was worth changing the battery as that could be the source of the issues.

Stuck with Varta as the original had been so good, got a slightly higher spec replacement for £81 delivered.
