Amber ABS and ESB lights on

Featured Replies

-10 model Yeti 2,0 diesel, 2-wheel drive:  Recently I have amber ABS and ESB lights constantly on, as well as green downhill light. I visited a local Mercedes /Peugeot dealer, who hooked up a diagnostic reader. I was told that the problem was a faulty rear right side ABS wheel sensor, which I replaced last week. Working With changing the ABS sensor, I  noticed that the rotating ABS signal ring behind the wheel bearing, was totally wasted by corrosion. Now I am waiting for a new wheel bearing assembly. Hopefully, this will cure the amber light issue.

The Merc/ Peugeot mechanic also mentioned that there was a fault Code related to the ABS pump itself. God forbid!  

 

Anyone in here have had similars amber light issues?

I take it by the green downhill light you mean Off Road Mode.
I did not realise the 2WD Yeti's were fitted with that.

Well, the light is on. When the two amber light came on , this was the first time I ever saw this green "downhill" light as well.

Check fuses 4 (20A) and 25 (40A) in the Ebox.

@Brigt - If the sensor ring is sufficiently corroded, then that will no longer give you a signal for the ABS sensor to read, but unfortunately the fault code narrative will still be "RHR Wheel ABS Sensor; No, weak or implausible signal" or similar.

Yesterday I replaced the RH rear wheel bearing on my  Yeti. Then, I disconnected the battery for a minute. Viola!. All 3 amber lighs as well as the green "downhill" lights are gone. Thanks for a comments, guys.

Before I mounted the new RH rear wheel bearing, I took the effort of priming and painted the external surfaces. As one can see from the old bearing image, the ABS ring is missing, Onby part of it were still on when I removed the brake disk. Part of the ABS ring had damaged the tip of the ABS sensor. The new bearing have a different type of ABS magnetic ring.(not perforated). No more amber lights!

Maybe abit late now but the abs rings are usually available on there own and just push onto the hub.

I did not relaize that ABS rings were available s separte parts. However, the bearing itself was worn as wll, and needed replacement. This is the third worn bearing I have changed on my Yeti.  One wheel to go. It has 170000 km (106000 miles) ( on the odometer.  I mostly drive on pawed roads.
