My wife has a 53 plate RIO LX recently the abs light comes on after driving 9 or 10 miles. I check the reluctor rings and they seem ok, cleaned them with a dremel tool using a small wire brush. After a test drive it came on again after a couple of miles. There seems no ryhme or reason as to it coming on. During the test drive I stopped switched off restarted the car and drove home and it never came on. Any help would be appreciated.

could be a loose or corroded connector. could be an indication that the sensor is on its way out, which will happen with age anyway. You could try asking a local garage to plug the scanner in to the car to see if any faults flash up???

try cleaning the sensors and check all cables to the sensors the wire sometimes gets frayed good luck ,john.

found the problem, it is a cracked ring. Perhaps I should have put my glasses on in the first place
