That would have been the diagnosis if messing with the wiring wouldn't have helped my situation. The part (ABS/PSM control unit) is like $5-6K. I'm really surprised that the error cant get cleared by Durametric. Does it go away and then return as soon as you start the car, or it just never goes away at all when you try to clear it?

never mind, just re-read your post. Does the Durametric software give an error? even if the PSM control unit is faulty, that shouldn't prevent you from clearing the code.

 

when i click on "erase fault memory" the code stays on. this is bizarre. out of nowhere.

 

theres no short from the wheel to the control unit. does that mean the wires are fine and that its the control unit ?

 

guys,
what does it mean if i can not clear the code ?
it immediately comes back on.
code 4200.

im having a hard time trying to understand how to trouble shoot.
can someone guide a layman please ?

 

According to the diagnostic manual the fault is the lead front right! I remember reading a couple of post mentioning this lead at fault....

 

JP,
I am helping steve with this. This is what we have found, Front right harness has continuity from pin at abs to wheel carrier for both wires and no continuity to ground. So as far as that I feel the harness is intact and working. The fault will not clear. It is standing This is telling me it is either some other input or the unit itself.

 

Good to know, I think Steve is in good hand!!!! Happy to see your around again to help a TT owner in trouble Which you good luck with that one. Keep us infer of your findings.

note. : I remember testing a wire for continuity on the airbag system with my ohmmeter and I had continuity but the computer did not like this wire because I had too much resistance. Later I've found the wire had only 4 strands intact....

 

JP,

Great point! Do you think that could give the standing code that wont reset? If I am buttoned up by Friday I wont to get at this as Steve thinks he is in Tokyo drift went he is at the wheel. My boy needs his ABS!!

 

Yes I do! Before going into heavy expenses I would like to try a new harness and if it is possible try the one on the left to the right and see if the problem is switching sides.

 

Tried the sensor swap already. Sounds good Update you Saturday.

 

Saturday is normally a day off for people with family I saw many toys in the background of your pictures (cam timing post) especially a nice black R1 that should be used on week-ends and also a racing bike!!!!! Lucky young man

 

I have have quite a few bikes. I like my zx10r with 181 HP's on the wheel.. No tracks that close by but I get my dirt on all the time, I can ride right around my place.

 

Obviously you know how to enjoy life Tim!!!! I don't think you are ready for an electric car like a Nissan Leaf or a Toyota Prius Need for speed!!!!!!!

 

can someone tell me where to get the harness kit ?

 

Steve look at these posts (13 and 16), there are two guys who seems to have order the abs harness kit. Heavychevy is one of them.,,,
