Before my engine let go last year I remember having the PSM/ABS light come on and as my car is now complete and is ready to be dropped to the floor for the first time for nearly 9 months I thought it a good idea to try too find out why this was on and I also remember having a feeling through the car while driving, I had put this down to the IMS after that decided to go AWOL.
I have been driving the car through the gears while up on stands, just checking for leaks and bleeding the coolant but I can feel a rubbing through the seat when driving the rear wheels, I have put the car in 3rd gear and got out the car to check everything while the discs are spinning and I can feel the issue through the nearside rear caliper when I put my hand on it, this is the only thing I could touch while everything is spinning. I thought it may be a sticky caliper piston so I levered the pads away from the discs but I am still getting the rubbing and noise, it happens once every revolution?
I know the ABS/PSM light would normally go out after a mile or so of real road driving but I have a feeling I have an issue that needs sorting and it makes sense to try to investigate while it is still in the air.
What issues are caused by a faulty ABS sensor or reluctor ring, or is there anything else I should be looking at?
