Omega General Help / Re: 94 2,0 ABS issues

« on: 21 December 2020, 23:32:53 »

eassiest way ( probably the only way ) to clean / check the fronts if you can get in behind the disc shield is to just whip the hubs off. but it sounds like you may have identified your issue anyway.
mine was a front hub issue but never had it on a reader just found and cleaned up the mess and all was well .this was a few years back .around 97 ish on a 89 carlton .

probably already been checked and sorry if stating the obvious but had a similar problem years ago on a series 3 carlton.
light came on and went out on startup as normal but came on when you started moving.
everything was checked by a garage and the abs unit was swapped but problem remained.
we also checked sensor resistances,mounting positions,wiring etc,
turned out to be rust particles from corroded front disc shield jamming up the slots on the toothed wheel. pickup then interpreted this as a speed error !
other things to check are,diferent sized tyres,loose toothed wheel (rear i think),mixed up connectors( left,right)
probably wont be any of these things but just passing on info !   may be of some help

i have seen a few on ebay that say they will fit but need to compare them to omega items for how thry look. so you are saying forget originals and go for flexible rubber aftermarket type.
that sounds a good idea. thanks. mr.dog

Omega General Help / Re: slap piston in swap x30xe?

if it is only piston slap then it could last for years but piston slap / wear doesnt normally manifest itself as metal filings in the sump ?

hi thanks doc.yep il agree with that.i found that  blue wire in those locations and all joined together in the loom just above the passenger side big connector.
that was the wire that was triggering the alarm,bringing on the interior light and making the buzzer do strange things.
il leave it disconnected for now cos i havnt found anything that doesnt seem to work yet. !
what i may do at the weekend is have a look inside the door and see where it goes and if its wet !

gotya !
started at the lights buzzer and with the markings on it worked out that the blue wire in terminal 31b was the one to follow.it was low to earth .
followed it across to the passenger side where it plugs into the multi plug and then it terminates and splits into 4 other wires. i snipped them all and found the single offending wire.reconnected the remaining ones back up and voila ,no buzzer when there shouldnt be and interior light working as it should and deadlocking working.
the offending ( disconnected)blue wire comes all the way back across to the drivers side door connector plug.removed plug and found traces of water inside. cleaned out and the earth fault on that wire is gone.
am going to leave it disconnected for now as everything seems to be working fine so it could be a return from the microswitch and check its still clear to earth in a few days.
only fault now is airbag light because i foolishly turned on the ignition with the big passenger side multi plugs disconnected. just going to get it reset at garage later .
thanks for eveyones suggestions and help.
got there in the end. and all made perfect sense realy.

Omega General Help / Re: Crank sensor...I think?

« on: 12 December 2020, 14:42:48 »

does it play up whilst driving or with any throttle whatsoever or just stall when you have no throttle.
likewise if you just give it the tiniest of throttle whilst starting does it fire up immediately and run good.

camera is not plugged in at night so that wasnt the issue with the other night or with the interior light but i will do as you say and check tommorow if it does switch off after the time it should.
thankyou

what i will do first is plug camera into the cig socket and observe the current again. i will check if the drop is after the consumer relay times out but i thought it was sooner than nearly an hour !
