Wear and play in suspension parts, allowing a wheel to turn slightly out of line when braking - something along those lines..

Cleaned the backplate and made sure the sensor was seated correctly but still had to file around a mm off the back of the sensor bracket to sort it. |

Going back to basics... The ABS is triggered, because it sees enough of a difference in rotation speed between one or more of the wheels. The usual cause of a difference being that wheels being braked are slipping on the road surface, so to maintain grip and balance, it reduces the braking effect on the wheels sufficient to get the rotational speeds to match. Under inflated tyres, excess movement in the suspension and similar can all cause the ABS to trigger when it should not. As also can the sensor simply not responding at low speed as pointed out by Mike above, or metallic dirt on the ring producing distorted or extra pulses.

I agree, any cheap handheld scope will do it. A DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscope) will do even better as you can freeze the trace.
Handheld scopes for low speed work like this are remarkably cheap on ebay. Probably not accurate, but for automotive work you just need to look at simple pulses. Last edited by Jumper75; 14th April 2014 at 23:40.. |

My suspension is all in good order (generally new bushes all around, wishbones are good, springs are all good if not slightly corroded and the dampers are all a bit tired). I could buy some sort of problem with the sensor being the issue (eg a faulty sensor or dirt etc) but I need some way of working out which corner is the problem. |

No idea what I'm looking for so hoping whatever it is jumps out at me. |

What you are looking for is some irregularity in the waveform, irregular pulses, double pulses, or missing pulses as the wheel is rotated. Mark the wheel with a bit of chalk if you see one and confirm it several times. It should be a neat square wave on the screen, with DC coupling (look for a switch marked AC/DC coupling).
