ABS light still on after changing the sensor

Post by mo7amed3arafa »

I've changed the left rear sensor for my 2005 cc Tiptronic and still the light is on but I felt the difference as before changing it the gearbox wasn't functioning well while shifting up and also down when breaking.
Should I clear the fault first using pp2000????

You still have a fault somewhere. If you had fixed the fault the light would go out after a while and the fault code would still be stored but as historic, not current.

I don't know what to do.
I changed the sensor and cleaned the magnetic hub using wd-40 and still the light is on.
I'm afraid that this fault will cause problems to my automatic gearbox.

There's your problem then. You have changed left rear and code says right rear.
Change the other one now.

Fault is probably in wiring to sensor. Is the code still the same? If it is, check the wiringwith a meter.
