the other forum states theres 4 sensor on aveO...not sure on OPTRA though...
workshop have the tools of trade to check with sensor is faulty??

Each wheel will need 1 sensor. One of the reason the sensor is not working could be it's covered with dust. You may want to remove the wheel and see if you can clean the sensors first. Aboh has got one of those compress air gun, that should do the trick. If it doesn't then the sensor koyak already and need changing.

WOAHhHH...For that..for sure we have to jack the car up fully...to do check all 4 wheels for dust or mud..
my workplace have the tools, forlifts as such...feel free to book the place on wkends SATurdays.

do shops appointed or not have tools to check on the failure of ABS sensor??
the other forum got reports on RDY that charges extra for doing the wrong sensor..
are we liable to pay for such cases although @ discounted price of installation??

I think the answer to this is "yes". Too much dust will affect the performance of the sensor and if the dust is too abrassive, it might damage the sensor as well.

i think y my abs lighted up is bcoz of the dust..plus the erratic driving of mine..
its a combo meal u noe..
