ABS sensor failure

Hi all! Just adding a note on this thread that hopefully will prevent the palaver I’ve had with ABS sensors.

Had similar issues to the OP, with Front Right being reported by my diagnostic box as failed. Quick look on GSF and Euro Car Parts showed several options, ranging from £27 to £66.
GSF showed one sensor, common LHS and RHS, at £27
ECP had two options. One was again common LHS and RHS at £45 and another one, which was specifically RH at £66.

Obviously I started with the GSF one, but once fitted there was still a problem and my iCarSoft diag said “Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor. System Internal Failures. Incorrect Component Installed”…

So next I tried the £45 one from ECP. But had the same error. I then saw this thread and thought OK, I’ll get the Frankburg one off Amazon at £15.

However, same problem!

Lastly, it was time for the £66 one from ECP, which worked perfectly!

In hindsight, the original faulty one was a light beige colour, and all the others I tried were black, apart from the £66 one which was also light beige. Usually with replacement parts the colours aren’t important, however in this case it sure is.

My XC60 is a 2014 high spec one with ACC, which might be the reason why the front right sensor is different but it seems mad that just that sensor is unique.

Fortunately got full refunds from GSF and ECP, so the £66 is a little easier to stomach.

Hope this helps others avoid this situation.
