E90 new speed sensor not working

Austin85bmw · 04-18-2018, 02:54 PM

Hi.
I have a 2006 e90 I have had it code read and it says right wheel speed sensor plausible I have tried 3 new sensors in right side and the fault is still there. I have moved the sensor that is working to the the right side and it comes up with left wheel speed sensor plausible (new ones in right side) so the code is swapping with the sensor. Two of the sensors are from different suppliers and 1 is from bmw. It can't be 3 dodgy sensors 🤯.
Can anybody help me

Could be a dodgy plug check the pins in the plug or check with a meter

have you looked down the sensor hole - it the reluctor ring worn or polished in places? could it be touching the sensor and causing the error?

Rust underneath causes the reluctor ring to swell up in places and rub the sensor.

or is there a possibility you have 3 wrong sensors meant for a later car?

I have changed the rings on both sides. if the sensor that work is on the right the code is on the left. And if its in the left the code is on the right. Two of the sensors I got was from a parts place and I had to give them my reg number. And the other was from bmw and that took my reg aswell. I know this may sound stupid but do you recon the sensor that says it's working could be broken and confusing the Acceleration Abs Sensor Control Module?
