Yes thats what I thought, I checked wiring dia and it just feeds ABS from same wire as feed to brake lights. I checked for continuity and that was fine. More head scratching then.

Okay ,found pedal a bit hit and mis turning switch off. Stuck a bit of rubber to the pedal and see how that goes, now it says ECU fault. Only comes on after driving a good few hundred yards, speedo is out showing 25 at 30. Makes me wonder if tyre size is out? But the 235/45/17 is the same radius on tyre chart. Does the speedo work of rear tyres/abs sensor?

Are all the drive shaft inner joints the same number of teeth on reluctor ring? just a thought as used 2L shafts , it would explain why speedo is out?

Speedo is probably out due to tyre size.

according to tyre size chart its the same diameter as the original , I put tape mark on front and rear tyres and rolled it forward and they are both the same.

205/65/15 is the original size.

And the speed signal comes from the front left hub.

One rotation won't highlight any slight difference. The error compounds with distance.

So, if calculated like this the difference is about 0.5% if calculated right.

Closer than that if the online calculator is right, you get more than that with different makes and between new and worn.

What about the fronts of your running different sizes?

The omega didn't have staggered wheels as standard so the ABS programming will be seeing different things to what is expected.

165x15 they are the same radius according to the size chart, I am sure it had 195/65/15 on it ,still have the wheels so will double check.

They'd need to have an aspect ratio of about 80 to be even close.
