Touran 1.9Tdi, ABS sensor fail

[surovi0230]

Hi all,

This is from the VCDS check:
"
1 Fault Found
00283 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Front Left (G47)
012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit "

The highlighted part of the message is bothering me.
Is it a problem with the ABS sensor or with connection cable?

If someone can help I will be grateful.

Best regards

I had something similar pop up a few weeks ago. Cleared the code and it hasn't reappeared again. It was a glitch or a connection was disturbed momentarily I reckon. It could also be the abs sensor on the way out I guess.

Do what I did and see if it returns.

You must get a passenger to operate the laptop while driving.

I would say from experience it is just the sensor.

Yes.... It was just a sensor.
Thank you all for the help.
