Reported cause
My indy diagnosed an abs sensor but no joy it was the sensor loom, for which there is a repair kit available.
Leading evidence: 'sensor loom' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'sensor loom' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair kit available' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I'm assuming it's probably an abs sensor but this has only started since I change the steering wheel, but I'm not sure if it came straight on.

Suggestion
My symptom was that I often got the lights on after I'd hit a bump with the front wheels, never on start and (I think) always reset after ignition was turned off.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

For the last few runs out I've been getting these lights on. Not all the time but more often than not. I'm assuming it's probably an abs sensor but this has only started since I change the steering wheel, but I'm not sure if it came straight on.
Is there any tools available to plug into the obd port( if it has 1)
Any other recommendations for home detection?
Ok .. a couple of contradicting comments from your first post to your second post ..
Do you get a warning message when you start the car or an intermittent message when you are driving the car ..
From your second post it would seem on first start up ?
Not aimed at you but a small thing that bugs me a bit .. please .. please .. always put every detail you can possibly think of in the first post .. including what actual car you have .. 997 and there are x2 gens of car and both are very different .
I've often answered a post here only to have a bit more detail drip fed on the next post .. then again on the third post .. i do my best but i need all the info .. it stops me having to guess at a fault only to have a bit of detail i needed added later and so on .. and everyone that also answers is in the same boat .
I will say .. i have given up on posts in the past as i got fed up .. i just don't have enough time to keep going back on posts and be drip fed .
Im ranting .. sorry young man .. its not aimed at you .. i get frustrated at times .. i do my best in a very short amount of time that i have and info is the key to getting the fault found asap .
The system has 2 ways of checking .. on first start it runs a system check .. anything open circuit .. high resistance will be flagged on this check.
The second is when the car is moving and above 6 mph .. it then looks at wheel speed sensors .. so a discrepancy on a sensor will be flagged at that point .. hence knowing when the fault happens helps a lot ..
If when moving then a speed sensor or ring on the driveshaft could be at fault ..
if on first start then its a possible break in a wire or again a wheel speed sensor but high resistance .
X2 ways of checking and both involve a tester to see whats going on .. there will either be a fault code or when driving you will see a difference on the wheel speed sensor outputs .. it can be a sensor , a driveshaft ring .. a brake pedal switch or indeed something more involved .
PSM light on but no fault code means the car thinks a wheel has started to lock up . it reacts as its programed to do , no fault code .... a fault is just that .. it sees something it doesn't like in a situation that it shouldn't see .. it will log a code ..
Info is the key here to working out the fault .
Once again .. not aimed at you ..
Its 8.30 .. i log at 9 and have just seen x2 pm,s .. i've already answered 3 tonight and i've not got to the boxster , cayenne section yet ..
Frustrated at my lack of time to answer questions basically .
Gonna log off early .. too many questions .. need a break .
As DM says you need to know what, if any fault codes are logged before deciding which action to take.
Mine was logging 'Front Right Wheel Sensor Implausible' (or similar words)
My symptom was that I often got the lights on after I'd hit a bump with the front wheels, never on start and (I think) always reset after ignition was turned off.
My indy diagnosed an abs sensor but no joy it was the sensor loom, for which there is a repair kit available.
I'd get the codes read and go from there.
Cheers,
Sorry guys. I usually don't have a lot of time so these questions are fired up quick.
My cars a 996.1 1998 3.4 c2
By intermittent I mean it's always on start up, but not every time I start it.
It never comes on when driving. If it wasn't on when the engine was started, it won't come on when moving.
I appreciate the help guys :thumb:
