ABS sensor revisions/compatibility

[piper6909]

The sensors themselves are different, not just the plugs. Use the pelican parts website to compare the two years and you'll see the difference. Having said that, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll send a different signal, given as you said, the ring is on the shaft, not the hub. And, BTW, my search found that the hubs are the same for both years so you're good there.

So, you have two options: 1) buy a new 2000 sensor, I'm not sure where your source is in the UK, but they're 107 USD at Pelican, or 2) cut and splice and hope for the best. It is my understanding that the "permanent" codes, while you cannot erase them, will go away once the problem is fixes. So don't go under the impression that it'll stick with your car forever.

Well, three, I guess... and that's to try and remove the original sensor. But you said it was stuck pretty good.

What would I do? Depends on what I'd want to do with the car. If I wanted to tinker and experiment with it, I'd cut and splice. If I want to finish it and do it right, I would definitely buy the appropriate sensor.
