Yes, after replacing two sensors I finally found that the problem was the ABS ring that was split, however you can buy the ABS ring on its own, about 20 euros & not too difficult to fit.
Yes, the program from multiecuscan does seem to be the only one that works for all the possible fault codes on our ducatos. It allowed me to locate the ABS fault although the replacement of the speed sensor was a bit of a ……. ! Even though the sensor is a plastic encased unit, the rear wheel housing had rusted around it & the only way to remove it was to drill it out.
It just clips in place, quite easy to remove but I agree that the cab light is a lot more difficult, it does test your nerves although it does just clip in as well.

It was fairly easy, took about 30 mins, you have to take out the old fluorescent unit & cut the 2 electrical connecting wires, then drill & screw a couple of metal clips (supplied) in its place. The LED unit is then held in place by these two clips so you then have to connect it up to the 2 wires that originally went to the fluorescent unit. Replace the clear plastic cover & that’s it.

Hi Barry
I replaced the fluorescent with this LED strip light
a straightforward replacement, uses less power & much brighter.
After looking on line for a fault code reader for the 2.8JTD ducato, it seems that the majority of cheap ones won’t work with this engine & very few will actually read faults on the ABS/ ASR system. I therefore downloaded a free diagnostic program onto my laptop from www.multiecuscan.net but had to buy the cables to connect my laptop to the vehicle OBD port. These are available from idiagnostics.co.uk for about £20 which includes 4 cables to read engine faults, ABS and airbag fault codes. After connecting the van up to my laptop it quickly showed all the stored fault codes & located the ABS fault to the right rear speed sensor. Having found where the fault is, I’ve now just got to try & sort it out.

I thought I might invest in a fault code reader to locate where the problem is. Has anyone any experience of these?
I’ve had the same problem, a few years ago on my previous Murvi Morello and now on the Exsis, both 2.8 JTD. The problem is intermittent and I assume it is a faulty sender unit but as it happens so infrequently, I don’t regard it as a serious problem. I’ll be interested to hear what the answer is?
