FORD FOCUS RS – ABS Light issue

Into our workshop today was this Focus RS with an ABS light illuminated.

A quick serial scan showed front sensor faults. We performed a live data check by going for a run in the vehicle and found no communication with the front sensors.

Once exposed the wiring was excessively taught

once the car was lifted and the sensors examined the trouble was obvious. The common issue with the RS model is that because the car is alot wider than the regular car and they haven’t extended the wiring looms to the sensors,  the wiring is stretched excessively and can become open circuit. Repair looms were sourced from the dealer and repaired successfully.
