MAF driving me mad !

Have you got the name of the person who sorted it

in some cases it is the stoplight switch is out of order, and force a abs/psm failure ABS / PSM Warning Light On
ABS / PSM gauge light appears for no apparent reason.
Possible Causes:
•A wheel came off the ground, wheel hop from accelerating quickly at a low speed, or you hit a pothole (Solution: Turn off the car completely, then turn it back on. The ABS/PSM light will clear itself if this was the case.)
•Failed Brake Sensor (Solution: replace brake sensor approx $20.00)
•Failed or damaged wheel speed sensor (Solution: check datalog codes for left or right sensor failure, swap left and right sensors and see if the failure moves to the opposite side. Replace if code states failure moved to opposite side. Leave sensors alone if code doesn't change.)
•ABS Ring on Axle (Solution: clean the ring)
•Bad Wiring Harness (Testing: Run double 16ga wire from wheel speed sensor directly to ABS box and check for code to clear itself. Solution: Order repair kit and fix harness.)
•Bad ABS Module (This is expensive and should be your last resort. Solution: Repair ABS Module

i understand your question, but after a new maf and checked connections i would look at a new diagnoseroute....direct at abs/psm system...
#28
what values in the Durametric software we have to tic to check for faulty O2 sensors, and when checking does the car need to be drivin or just idling?
and how do i know if its faulty, does the reading from both sides has to match?

log it at idle....lambda on both sides schould be near equal....lambda 1
check it under load and especially in the case when failure comes...under load lambda is under 1... but both sides near equal

Thank YOU for posting this...
Will need to use this.
My 996 C4 was damaged in Driver Side front wheel (torn off)
Had it ALL replaced, and PSM/ABS lights are on.
Will follow your steps trying to see if I can find the problem.
Thanks a million bud!!!!!!!!
