So the Rangie had it's ABS light on since New Years off road adventure...
Pressure washed it underneath last weekend, and couldn't see any obvious problems... Dug around on the internet and found the diagnostics procedure involving putting a jumper across to wires.
Tried it this morning and found 6! fault codes.. so I was expecting this worst... Anyway I cleared the fault codes and then ran out of time..
Later on the had to go out in the car and guess what, the abs light went out when I went over 7 mph as normal...I guess The fault codes must have been logged as I was being towed in Scotland with less and less juice in the battery! ( 3 hours in the dark with the wipers & side lights going)
All is well in rangie world.... off to Wales next weekend... something is bound to break then !
I can't remember where I got this description I've included & clarified below. I followed this as described, except I didn't pull the abs relay. This is because the version on
formatting link
doesn't include that step. Also, the ones on rangie.com describe the start phase as being slightly different, I found on mine, the start phase to be exactly as described below.

-------------------------
procedure:
Turn off the ignition before you start.
Using the screwdriver, Take the side panel off the seat pedestal on the drivers side (passenger if you drive in uk). There are 3-4 screws holding it on. You then need to pull the ABS warning Relay. Its a small square plug that has a green base and is the relay closest to the front of the seat.
Under the seat, you will find a small 4 pin connector near the back of the seat pedestal. It is blue. You want to connect the small wire between two holes. One hole has a black wire with a pink stripe. The other hole has a black wire. Bridge these two together and turn on the ignition. The ABS light will light, and then go out after 5 seconds. The ABS light will then start to blink in a pattern.
The pattern is: Pause, flash, pause, flash. This signifies the start of the pattern. Then there will be a 2.5 second pause and then a series of flashes which gives the first number of the code. This will be followed by a 2.5 second pause, and then a series of flashes for the second part of the number.
The sequence of start phase, first and second parts will continue until terminated by the operator, thus allowing the code obtained to be rechecked. To terminate the sequence disconnect the prewired plug from the diagnoostic plug (Ignition still on). Wait for cycle to end before code will clear (switch ignition off). NOTE: Termination will clear the memory of that particular fault. Do not terminate the sequence if unsure of the code number.
The memory is capable of storing more than one fault. To search the memory. Repeat procedure until no further faults are stored in the memory. The memory is cleared when a long pause of 7.5 secs occurs after start phase.
The Codes
2-12 - Front Right Too Large an air gap, or Check sensor setting and for damage to
2-13 - Rear Left sensor has been forced exciter ring. Check for rear bearing endfloat
