Speed Censors

[Tearoom]

I have a yellow/orange warning light up on the dashboard, according to the manual this is for the stability control.

I have felt no difference in the drive/performance of the car.

On my last MOT I had an advisory that the rear speed sensors will need changing

I am hoping the two things are connected, so have fired off a message to Spurs fan in a coupe to see if he has any.

Have any of you had to change your rear speed sensor and did it bring on the orange warning light?

Yes - they are in that circuit - have a look at Section 3450 in

If you have access to INPA diagnostics you can check sensors and fault codes.

Surprised speed sensors show up as advisory? Not expensive new from europarts not normally available used as difficult to remove

That's what Andy has said, they usually snap when he prises them out.
It came up on the MOT as the warning light was on at time of test, I think they checked the error code and reset it. Now the orange light is on more than it is off.
