EXCELLENT TO THE DURAMAX video!!!! THANK YOU A MILLION! Marine hubby been tearing hair out trying to get this bugger out. The dealer CLAIMED you could just "pull out the sensor" - we have a 1500HD not a Duramax, 6.0 L engine. Corrosion terrible here in Ohio, this was a Colorado truck - rusting bad here. This video saved us a bunch of money, we thought we were going to have to replace entire front hub assbly to replace that speed sensor, so thank you so much! Excellent with close ups, going into all the small details - other videographers just sped over those details, you didn't. Keep at it, you are great at these!
I've been doing a bunch of front end work on my '03 2500 Silverado and removed both speed sensors to clean up the rust etc on the steering knuckles ... when I took them out (having never seen a speed sensor before) what I saw was the tiny copper line not realizing there is a plastic cover over the copper ... when I was ready to reassemble everything the passenger side sensor went right in no problem ... the driver side would not go all the way in and must be damaged ... I went online to see about ordering a new one and they all have a plastic covering ... this is where I started to realize that there is a plastic cover and not just bare copper line wound around a small shaft ... All the video's I saw didn't show the sensors with the plastic cover off ... Your's did! ... and I want to thank you for the level of detail you showed ... I had hoped to get it all back together today until I ran into the sensor problem ... Anyways .. thank you for your video!
I'm no wrench, by any means. I am however replacing brake pads and know my Silvy suffers from this sensor as well. This video really helped. Thank you so much!
Yeah if you know how to read between the lines. I missed when he took off the rotor, oh that's right, he never told us. I learned of that step when he put it back on at the end. He shouldn't skip any steps on a tutorial!
@@richardroussel2739 my guy u seen him unbolt the caliper and bracket which means the rotar will just come off it’s held on by the mounting bracket of the caliper so technically he did show taking it off
If it is pulling left then the right wheel speed sensor is the problem. The abs thinks that right one has traction issues so it only brakes the left wheel ala the truck pulls left.
They rust under the sensor all the time no big deal you may just clean it then put a bit of oil on the housing and not repalce the sensor reuse the old one but to be sure go and change it.
I could tell you're from the midwest. In wisconsin our trucks look the same. my abs kicks on when I turn sharply into a parking stall and I'm trying to narrow down my problem. 2000 silverado
I know it's a very old reply, but hopefully it'll help somebody. I had this issue and used an automotive pick tool, small tool with a hook and worked it out. You need to get it just right, took about 10 minutes of me screwing around with it
2006 express van...it took me over an hour to get that plastic tip out of that hole. Mine was firmly stuck. Tapped a tiny flathead screwdriver down along sides to pry it off the medal.
i have that issue rn with the abs light being on and u can feel it in the brake pedal, how do i determine wat wheel has a bad sensor? mines an 06 silverado 1500
Hi, great video I have a 2005 1500 and going down the road after about 10 to 15 mins my front driver break starts locking up. No lights, I have changed the caliper and brake line and it still has not been fixed. After seeing this I am starting to think it could be the speed sensor. Any ideas?
So on mine the abs like it keeps going on and off while driving not even hitting the breaks at all. was that the same thing that was happening to you as well?
@@AEC_Tiny you’ve probably already sorted the problem, but typically it’s the rust buildup under the sensor. The rust expands and pushes the sensor away from the hub far enough that it can’t read correctly. Pull the sensor and sand down the rust on the hub to bare metal. Spray the area with rust inhibitor paint. Also sand any rust off the sensor’s metal gasket and reuse the sensor. If you don’t remove the rust and treat the area, the problem will remain or come back even if you replace it with a new sensor.
Exactly! Rust jacking. Rust forms on the hub, under the sensor and lifts the sensor a few thousandths. That little bit of extra space makes all the difference. That's why we measure in thousandths. Clean the surface and the gasket underneath the sensor, and you'll most likely be back in business. Most people don't know this. I just had a mechanic tell me the sensors are integrated into the wheel hub. Good grief.
@@TruckMaster I've replaced the speed sensor thats on the transfer case, but my speedometer is still wonky. I hit a deer a few months ago and it pushed the bumper into the passenger side tire, since that happened my abs light has been on, now the speedometer started jumping and staying at zero
I have a 2005 silverado 1500 2 wheel drive. My rear end went out so I replaced it with a lower geared rear with slip pos. Now my speedo is off by about 10 mph and my abs light came on after the rear change. Truck also pulls to the left when I hit my brakes. What all do I need to change to correct this? Someone told me I need to change the speed sensor on the trans but would that fix my abs light and pulling to the left?
You’ll need to change to a tire size that will bring the revolutions back to stock or have the computer tuned to your new setup. The computer uses the info of the wheel speed sensor and the speed sensor on the transmission’s output shaft together to figure out what the truck is doing. The output shaft is now reading a different speed than what the tires are actually doing since your new gearing has changed how fast the wheels are turning in relation to the revolution of the trans output shaft. This can confuse the computer where it doesn’t react properly in addition to the incorrect reading on the speedometer. Also, you’ll want to pull the wheel speed sensor, sand down any rust on the hub and the sensors gasket and spray the hub with rust inhibitor paint in that area. You can reused the same sensor. The rust pushes the sensor away from the hub which causes misreadings. It’s a common problem on these chevys.
What was your reason for changing that? Symptoms of truck? I just had a shop do a complete brake job; lines, rotors, pads, the whole system. Now every time I come to a complete stop, the ABS kicks on and the front passenger side grabs. 07 Silverado Classic. Any ideas?
+Tony Escuzi I’m almost positive your speed sensor needs to be replaced. But I would replace both front wheel bearings I’m almost positive it will fix your problem but for now pull your abs fuse, you will have a check engine light but your abs won’t kick on
Is it possible for a bad wheel speed sensor to cause my speedometer to jump and transmission shift or slip funny? My wheels speed sensor is worn almost all the way in half
So I have the opposite problem. My ABS system on my '02 Suburban will fail at random times whether I am braking or not, and at any speed. It went out on me last year in the middle of a stop (or slide) on an ice covered freeway in rush hour (ahhhhhh Minnesota winter). After sliding sideways across two lanes of traffic, then sliding back the other direction across both lanes again, slowly rotating to face oncoming traffic, slamming into the concrete barrier at about a 135 degree angle, and coming to a stop, perfectly aligned with the wall, in the emergency lane, facing 180 degrees in the opposite direction of which I started, smiling and waving at the people driving past me to let them know I was ok, while dying on the inside, thinking about possibly having to put my old boy down because the damage would result in a total loss, I decided if he made it through, I should probably fix the ABS issue. $0 in repairs later (a little gouge out of the bumper. I can't figure it out either.) I need to figure this problem out. So. My question is. Is there any way to find out which sensor is bad without having to spend the time disassembling each wheel to figure it out? My luck it would be the last one I tested. For some reason I think it's the front passenger side because sometimes when I crank the wheel to turn in somewhere, it feels like there's a stutter coming from that side. After watching this video, replacing it is easy enough. Just finding out which one is bad is the hard part. Thanks!
@@anthonyloiacono9353 rust gets under the sensor, place a waded up paper towel in the hole and file or sand the rust off until you have clean metal, then reinstall the sensor. Check to see if your bearings are bad before replacing them, most of the time it's just rust build up under the sensor.
My abs kept kicking on during the summer, so it pissed me off and i ripped out the 60 amp fuse, i trust my own foot to pump the breaks rather than a computer that may or may not decide to work, used my 60 fuse in my lightbars then
I'm with you on that my truck the abs would grab and let go when I stopped at stop sign so I removed the damn fuse been running like that for 3years now it doesn't throw the check engine light just abs and brake light. Those light up to let you know that now if you wanna stop you can in a hurry

I agree
Great video but you likely had to replace passenger side. Since the wheel went left it means your passenger side was letting out via the abs system.
this is correct!
Hey man appreciate it good job you just save me some money about 2:25
They rust under the sensor all the time no big deal you may just clean it then put a bit of oil on the housing and not repalce the sensor reuse the old one but to be sure go and change it.
So if my steering wheel turns right, it’s the passenger side sensor ? 1:12
Wish you showed getting the plastic out of the hole.
Excelente video
Awesome video. Do you have a video on a step by step on flushing and filling your brake system? I have a 03 duramax 2500hd.

+Collin Rogers it could be you wheel bearing assembly's if you replace both of them I'm sure it would fix the problem
Truck Master ugh yeah I probably should. Thanks for the insight
Thanks ! excellent video
I wish you would’ve showed how you got that plastic tip cover out of the hub

I have a 2003 Chevy duramax, how many abs speed sensors are on the ‘03?

Thanks for the video,,,,,,
+Larry Hess no problem
hey does the sensor go up into the hood to where you have to open it up or can you reach it from under the front wheel?
Easier to get to under the hood on a 04
So on mine the abs like it keeps going on and off while driving not even hitting the breaks at all. was that the same thing that was happening to you as well?
Do Silverado 1500, 5.3 liter 4x4 have rear speed senors?
Just replace the sensor abs still kicks on when coming to complete stop only pulls to the left still, no lights come on what could be the problem
+Adrian Cuello you need new wheel bearing
Truck Master appreciate the help

sure did help out that's bro
the problem is the rust, the sensor is usually fine

Will this fix the erratic speedometer and abs light being on?
Yes but if I was you replace both wheel bearings it normally fixes this

im curious why there was no check engine or abs light lit up you you took it for a drive prior to showing the install
Should have checked sensor for clearance...have to be shimmed sometimes...

Truck Master Thank you sir. Appreciate the advice. Great video.
while you're at it change the oil
When I turn left, ABS sensor light dings and comes on. Then goes off after a bit. Is that passenger side?
Sorry this is a month late reply. I’d say yes that is passenger side. My truck does the same and I have a code for right front speed sensor.
So when I replaced mine the ABS light came on. It wasn't on before I replaced them. Any idea why?
you just need to have the code reset so your ecm will recognize the new part
Hi I tried 5 mm its ready tight. 4 mm Is too small. I tried 3/16.
Hello Truck Master, I posted a GM bulletin that covers this, but it was ghosted - Can you please check your channel spam box ?

have the same truck. when at low speeds i step on the brake and the pedal will sink down a little bit. is this the same problem?
