Hello, I have been searching EBay for help on this. This is my 1st post in this forum, and hopefully not my last. I am from England (please dont laugh at me). I have a 1993 200sx (the same as a s13 240sx). My question is with regards to the ABS system on the 240. My ABS has failed and the ABS controller indicates that the rear diff sensor has failed. I have bought a sensor off Ebay and upon receiving it, it looks nothing like the sensor I need. It looks like a front sensor to me. I was wondering if someone could shed any light on the ABS on a 240sx. Do you have the same setup us we do on the 200? A sensor on each of the front wheels, and one on the rear diff? Or do you have a sensor on each of the wheels?? If this makes no sense to anyone let me know, and I will try and explain it better. Kind Regards Stuart ---

Many drivers here remove/disable their ABS unit. Honestly, it’s not worth the money to replace or service the ABS unit. If the actuator (the unit under the hood) fails then that could be a problem. You are better off removing the actuator, just direct feeding the brake lines fluid from the master cylinder. ---

Thanks for the reply, but I was more hoping for a reply as to if you had the same sensors as we have on the 200. I have bought what I was understanding to be a rear diff sensor, and have received what I beleive to be a front abs sensor. I just wanted to check the ABS situation on the 240sx before I email the person I bought it off. Thanks Stuart ---
