Can clear them more than likely come back though. Its intermittent signal from the wheel speed sensor, may be faulty may just need cleaning. They're not too much to buy anyway

I had the same problem with the rear left, cleared it, it came back on, cleaned it, it came back on, now got to order a new one.

Right, now I can't even reset the fault. Im getting this error ?

Now i've disconnected the passenger side sensor and when my car is turned over I get a warning beep, but if I disconnect the driver side sensor there is no beep.

Is there a guide on how to replace one of these sensors ?

It would be much appricated. :D

Thanks James
