If you can't see anything wrong, either go to the dealer (and be prepared to pick up the soap ;) ) or find a local garage who can read the code .

That part had like no slack in the wire, the wire was very stiff connected, so it seems that metal plate that connect the wire to the radius arm bent, so i think i would need to replace the sensor then at the rear hub,

I bent the metal plate on the radius arm back to its position so that there is more slack for the line over the axle to the hub.


You may have fractured the wire by stretching it.
The wire is part of the sensor, but you might be able to splice a piece of wire in and temporally repair it when you know for certain which sensor has failed.

I don't think a new sensor can be much more than about £200, as Cam Suzuki will sell you a second hand pair for £40.(If you get a dealer to fix it you will get the joke I made earlier, Dave did :lol: :lol: )

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

I know some one who did a 2" lift and was no 100% on doing it didnt see that the abs wire had come uncliped on the axle knuckle end and when turning the the wire got cut between the hub and the axle easy fit i just soldered them back together but you may want to put some extra wire in if that are broken to compensate for the suspension change
