	Thought I'd throw this one out there to see if anyone can shed any light. The ABS & Tracs lights are on. So far I've - Cleaned and tested the front sensors (both reading around 1060 Ohms) Tested the wiring from the module plug to the front left sensor plug - no breaks. Made up a flash reader and discovered fault code "311" which was front left wheel sensor circuit. Replaced the ABS module for a guaranteed refurbed unit. Cleared the code and now there are no codes showing. The lights are still on and it's doing my head in.

	My sons RRC loves to put the ABS light on fairly regularly, in our case it is usually just the sensor is dirty or has come away from the housing slightly creating too big an air gap, could be your prob?

	Are the abs rings corroded? I ended a long running abs saga on my shogun by chipping all the corrosion off the rings with a cold chisel. The rings looked ok, there weren't any broken teeth, but they had a layer of rust all the way round. A light tap with the chisel knocked the rust off, I kept tapping until the rings were uniform all the way round. Cured the problem for me.

	^^^^ What he said..if you have been through all the other stuff that leaves the pickup rings. I had this issue on an SLK and an e39 5 series. I changed the hub out on the e39 and welded the broken ring on the SLK..lights out
