The Yellow light Triple Threat!

You know what I'm talking about. Yup, ABS sensors are potentially booboo. Not sure which one yet and i heard a multimeter could let me know which one (If not all). So I've been doing my research on how to replace them and they're fairly easy to replace. Just getting them off the Hub is going to be a challenge. Now, i understand there are clips that they connect to that are easily accessible. Although the other end looks a little challenging. I dont know if there are clips as well or how to even connect it. I heard you have to turn it 180° until you hear a *click*. Can anyone provide me with some additional info? I'm driving a beautiful 2005 mini cooper (R50) and i love that baby. But i dont want to see those lights anymore. They've been on for over 4 months now.

Get a simple diag tool like the Bavarian Technic software or we even have a cheaper one the Easy Diag Tool that works with your phone or Ipad. When you read the codes it will be easy for you to figure out what is wrong. Plus down the road both these choices will allow you to diag more than just ABS later included DME, and Airbag plus some.

Also you don't have to remove the hubs to replace the ABS sensors. Just a 5mm allen and the unbolt and come out.
