I have abs light and brake light always on. My car is matrix 2004. I checked the oil but no problem with it. Will it fix the problem, and is the wheel speed sensor in same area.
Hey love your vids. I have a abs cable that needs to be replaced. I’ve seen a lot of videos where they change the sensor but not the cable. How hard would that be?
If a part of the cable is cut or chipped, splicing/resoldering might work, although the conditions in the wheel well can be pretty rough so seal the splice up as well as possible. Heat shrink is a must.
That is a complicated question, if you go to our website www.2carpros.com and ask a question for free, an expert will be along shortly to help! Thanks for watching!
Ive got a 00 Buick LeSabere. I don’t have any ABS or check engine lights on but when I hook up my code reader, I get code C1298( Class 2 serial Data link malfunction) and C1245 (Acceleration output). I’ve been told to check my wheel speed sensor. Is this a good place to start?
if you have small hands and bend the cover (inside and outside) a bit can can replace the cable without removeing al the covers. tape a rope to the connector and pull the cable from the inside to the outside. then use the rope to pull the new cable from the outside inwards. unfortunately swapping the sensors did not fix the bumpy braking for me (the two on the front were dead, two in the rear where ok) if I have bumpy braking (especially slow riding towards a traffic light) what else can it be? the abs module itself? If I disconnect the abs module it brakes much beter, not perfect, but much better. I ride a kia sportage 2006
I had a code of c003a for a rear right wheel sensor on a 2013 Ford Escape I’m gonna check the tone ring first to see if it’s cracked or broken but once I change the sensor or tone ring depending on which it is will my abs and traction light go away? Thank you in advance if I get a reply and if not still thank you
@@2carpros That is true, there's a reason why they put the connector in a less damaging environment. and splicing it together closer to the wheel is asking for trouble. bad wiring connections are one of the most common problems, there is on modern computerized vehicles. technicians are always tought to check the connections, as the first step in any procedure. but taking so much the vehicle apart isn't the answer, just put the connector in a decent location. I agree with you I will probably catch hell for this reply, because people don't realize how bad of an environment the undercarriage of a vehicle is especially in the winter. if the reason is to keep DIYers from doing the repair? these videos are proof that they are going to learn how to do it anyway.
here in norway they want 18000 nkr to switch both sensors back, becouse both bolts that hold sensor are brocken inside so they must drill it out, its a double wheeler back, if i can get the wheels off myself u think its the same as in your video or diffrent becouse off double wheels? ty
@@2carpros thank you Actually the code was P0500 , the mechanic told me it's for one of the ABS sensors and he doesn't know which one. So I googled the code and found out it's the speed sensor. Saved alot of money
My Hyundai Tucson is showing code for the right rear ABS wheel speed sensor but the dealer says I have to replace the whole hub assembly. Does this sound correct for a 2016?
Agree. They just want more $ from you. Now, if warranty is still active and this is covered by warranty, then by all means have them do more work and get you all that new stuff in there. If you don’t have warranty, I suggest buying the ABS wheel speed sensor on rockauto.com The loco Kia dealer (yea, in Spanish this means “crazy” but sounds like I’m saying “local” lol) wants $147 + tax for the ABS wheel speed sensor for my 2013 optima. Bought it online: $39 for sensor $4.50 tax $25 next day shipping $68.50 total...and installed myself. Easy just like the video shows! BTW, rockauto sells the brand “Mando” which is a tier 1 manufacturer for Hyundai/Kia OEM parts. Hope this helps you and everyone else getting suckered into dealer pricing. 👍🏼
We changed the abs speed sensors on both sides front on a 2004 buick raineer and the brake system service bell keeps going and says brake service system on screen what can we do to get it to stop
There could be a resistance change with the splicing but I think it would work just fine. I'm sure there will be an electrical engineer along shortly to tell me off and why it's the worst idea in the world. Thanks for watching!
I have a 1999 F-150 and I was told you almost have to disassemble the whole hub just to get the front wheel speed sensor out! I know that it is already a pain to remove on my truck, just because you DO have to remove the front brake rotor to even get to the Allen head cap screw holding mine in place with means taking apart the front brakes just to get to it!!
That's the price you pay for the sweet pleasure of truck ownership. Thanks for watching! I have a video on doing a brake job on your exact truck if you are interested.
I seen the wires but tonight I came upon sensors that look like just the sensors only and no wires. Also no indication of rear left or rear right so now I’m a little nervous of what’s the right part and I can’t take the vehicle apart first and wait to have the part shipped after removing and seeing the part
Can u tell me the dealer says that I need a abs speed sensor and that they are going to replace the whole hub does this seem right and why is 400 for the part for 2019 Nissan Titan that only has 11000 miles on it ?? Can I just buy a tool and keep clearing the code ??
You should just be able to replace the sensor unless it is a really silly design. That is very low miles, you really shouldn't have any problems at this time. I would warranty it. If you just keep clearing the code the ABS might not work. Thanks for watching!
If I were you I would get a second opinion, a Nissan Titan is a pickup truck and more than likely all wheel drive which could be a factor. but normally ABS sensors are remove able by themselves, and don't require a whole other component to be removed to change them. I would definitely seek a second opinion no doubt.
@@2carpros I wondered that myself but didn't ask. no wonder why you had to remove so much of the interior panels. a Sportage is an SUV, on a regular passenger car it's possible that procedure, might be done from in the trunk compartment of the vehicle. requiring considerably less interior panels to be removed. something that I noticed that a lot of people in the comment section complained about including myself. which might be less of an issue on average passenger cars. that is a very good question that this particular veiwer brought up (thanks veiwer). and probably a question that I should have thought of much earlier in this comment section, instead of whining and complaining so much.
Kiwi your absolutely right mine sensor was broken when I tried to pried it out it was bond to the wheel hub. I'm thinking about cut and connecting instead of spending hours removing half the rear interior
so easy, unless you own an infiniti qx30 that makes you remove the wheel well cover to get access to the connector. turns a 10 minute job into an hour job....
When the ABS light comes on it's normally due do to a bad wheel sensor. in which case the computer basically turns off the ABS, allowing the brake system to be the same as a vehicle with not equipped ABS. which means the brakes can have a full lock up condition. but a check ABS light can also mean there are other issues with the ABS, that could lead to complete brake failure. the only way a person will know if it's a sensor is if the vehicle is connected to a scanner. so like with any check system lights, it's really wise to have the vehicle checked out and repaired.
I have my brake light, ABS light and Traction Control light going off for a rear speed sensor on my 2014 Toyota 4Runner. I have been driving mine for about a month with these on but definitely would not recommend it.
Wow I'm not impressed at all this gentleman said that this was a very difficult rear speed sensor to change I guess he's never dealt with the other half lives in Durham fKing rear drum! Thanks a lot for show me how to do something my grandchild could've showed me!
Very difficult for a speed sensor due to needing to take about the entire rear interior. Usually is a plug a short distance away. It's called context. There will always be things that humans do that are way harder. So we compare things to similar things to gauge difficulty. Sorry if that was lost on you. Thanks for watching!
This is a perfect example of engineers that can't hit their ass with both hands. designing components for automobiles, that makes a simple procedure, such as R&Ring a simple component as a ABS sensor, turn into such a headache. that is beyond ridiculous to have to take so much of the car apart just to R&R an ABS sensor. perhaps maybe they should have to do the work, on their own handy work. (designs) then maybe we would see less of this stupidity. it doesn't make sense, I can see putting the connector in a better environment. but having to take so much of the vehicle apart to do the repair, is just plain stupid.
