2011 Octavia Scout 2.0 TDI 4x4 – Front Left ABS Sensor Wiring / 47-Pin ABS Module Pinout Help

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to diagnose a persistent front-left ABS wheel-speed sensor fault on my 2011 Skoda Octavia Scout 2.0 TDI 4x4 (Mk2).

The fault code I'm getting is 00283:012 – Front Left ABS Wheel Speed Sensor – Electrical Fault.

So far I've:

• Replaced the front-left ABS sensor.

• Checked the voltage at the sensor connector and found approximately 2V across the two wires, compared with around 11.4V on the working opposite side.

• When connecting my multimeter between battery positive (+) and the sensor wiring, I was getting approximately 11.5V. This makes me wonder whether there's a problem with the sensor's supply or return circuit.

• Checked the short ABS sensor wiring harness, including the black and brown wires where they join the main loom.

• Checked for continuity between the sensor wiring and the ABS module connector, but haven't managed to establish continuity.

I've removed the ABS module connector, which I think is the the 47-pin version with three rows of terminals but not sure if it could be the 26 way and if this refers to rows in use?

I've seen discussions on here identifying the rear-left sensor as pins 36 and 37 and the rear-right as pins 43 and 42 on the 47-pin connector.

However, I'm trying to establish the correct pin numbers for the FRONT LEFT ABS sensor.

I've also been given a wiring diagram suggesting pins 8 and 9, but I want to confirm this applies to my exact ABS module before making any connections.

My intention is to run two replacement wires from the ABS module connector to the front-left sensor to bypass any possible break in the original loom. I've stripped back the loom to see where it connects but looks like the ABS sensor wire disapears into the bulkhead so cant access it. Was thinking of going to the brown/black wires on the modual connector

Could anyone confirm:

1. Which two pins on the 47-pin ABS connector are for the front-left wheel-speed sensor?

2. Which pin corresponds to the black wire and which to the brown wire?

3. Is there an intermediate connector or known wiring failure point between the ABS module and front-left sensor on the Mk2 Scout?

I've attached photographs of my actual ABS connector, including the terminal layout.

Any help or a correct wiring diagram for this particular ABS module would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
