Hi all,
The SL has finally given me the red ABC warning. On the icarsoft I have C1129 fault in component B22/6 right rear plunger travel sensor. Now I have panicked and bought a ( hopefully) good s/h strut, but having scoured the forums it seems that this code can be caused by a number of other problems. Is this usually the case or is it normally the strut ? I have no leaks and the car has just locked on its highest setting. Is it feasible or advisable to just remove the sensor and try the one from the strut I have just purchased before getting down to changing the full strut ?
I have on my to do list a rear valve block rebuild and replace the rear sphere. Have already done the front and recent flush. I will also check and clean the contacts on the ABC module near the steering column.
Any suggestions much appreciated
Ian
