Another good video Mike. Quick and (hopefully) easy test. Works for the rear wheels also.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hey Mike, thanks for watching! Merry Christmas!

Thank you and merry Christmas Mike and family.
Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
~Mike
that's pretty slick!! got a abs code and i'm going to use your method to find out the problem. Thank you!!
Good work. Have a merry Christmas. Making things simple. 👍
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
~Mike
Way to keep it simple, Thanks.
Hello,
Never work harder than you have too!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

Nice video and LOVE the jumper set up. Feliz Navida mi amigo.
Thanks dude! Feliz Navidad
~Mike
Mike, you rock brother great and quick to the point that every body can understand thanks for sharing and Merry Xrtsmas to u and family.cheeeeeers
Hey J Georges, thanks for watching! Merry Christmas!

Awesome test 👌
I want to wish you and your family a very happy holiday season and Christmas. Your a very good teacher and I have enjoyed 2022. I look forward to 2023.
Thanks! To you and yours as well! Bring on 2023 :)

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Wyatt!
hey wyatt! just wishing you and family a merry christmas!!
@@SmittySmithsonite Smitty! Merry Christmas to you as well.
@@scuba422123 Hi Scuba. We're still learning on great channels like this one right? Have a great Christmas.
this test has saved me a lot of money in he past / merry Christmas to you and you family
Awesome Simon! Glad to hear you're already using it! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours as well!!!

@@GoTechTraining I don't have a vehicle with wheel censors but I try to help others with their vehicle problems. I'm not sure what running the information coming from the wheel on the the other side of the vehicle into the censor that has a problem is doing? Should the code be off and stay off if the wiring harness is good?
That's correct MJ, if you have a code for the LF, you run the sensor signal from the RF to the LF harness side and simulate the LF sensor. This confirms the wiring and ABS module are ok. Then you're left with either a bad abs wheel speed senor or bad tone ring.
~Mike
@@GoTechTraining thanks for responding to my question. Have a
Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. I'm a DIY backyard mechanic because it's extremely expensive to bring your vehicle to someone else to fix your own vehicle. Plus you don't know what they might have done to your vehicle.
Thanks for sharing the tip!
Hey Russel,
Thanks for watching!

That bypasses the trouble tree telling you to replace with a known good, without having tho buy a knowned good that you might not need. THANKS MIKE. Hope Santa's good to you and yours.
Hey Terry, thanks for watching! It won't work for everything, but some things it rocks! Merry Christmas!
~Mike
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks man!
~Mike
Thank you
hey mike yea been there.... rust jacked sensor hope it comes out !! and merry christmas !!
Hey Scuba, oh yeh, good ol' rust! Merry Christmas!
~Mike
very good job , where can i get like yours jumper leads
Thanks.
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the video!

Keep the great content coming Mike! Do you have any recommendations on service repair info for European vehicles? I primarily use Identifix and Mitchell ProDemand but info is severely lacking for European cars. It makes diagnosing or even hanging parts difficult at times. I have access to All Data but never use it because I like the layout of the other two sources better.
Hi John,
Sometimes if I'm in a pinch for info, I will purchase a day subscription to OEM service information. BWM TIS can be purchased for $30 a day. It seems expensive, but it saves money in the long run not searching all over trying to find accurate information.
Thanks for reaching out!

@@GoTechTraining Thanks for the tip Ryan!
Mike,ignore my question, i was paying attention when i was watching. thanks.
hi bud I need to cheat abs module on a 2019 golf gti. need to send pulses(signal) from right front side to left front side as making both pulses (signal) the same. could you help me with this and avoiding abs module to detect a fault?
thanks in advance
Hey mike , great video! I would like to buy the lead that you connected to the sensor side . Please give me the link. Thank
All the test leads we use are from AESWAVE.com
Thanks for reaching out!
~Ryan
Wjere to buy those jumper leads?
what would cause no signal from any of the 4 sensors after an ABS module was replaced and same issue?
Hi Mike. Could you link where you purchased the pin kit for abs sensor?. Or provide additional information on this tool?
Thankyou
Hey ceet12,
This kit came from AES Wave, www.aeswave.com/uTest-Advanced-Terminal-Test-Kit-p9748.html
Awesome test kit.

Where did you get your nice set of long jumper cables? They are awsome
I got em off the tool truck a while ago. I'll throw a link to the same set on Amazon in the description of the video when I get a sec.
~Mike
Nice
Here's a link
amzn.to/3WjPkgG
Harbor freight even has them
I just tried to check my ohms on my 2003 Ford explorer. I'm not getting any readings. Must not produce any resistance unless the wheels turning.
shouldn't you also get a code for left front sensor since it is disconnected?
❤❤❤
Curious on the code criteria. What is it monitoring on KOEO?
Circuit integrity, it's looking for resistance in the sensor i believe.
~Mike
@@GoTechTraining thanks that's what I was assuming. Thanks for the video. Great tip!
Thanks for watching!

3 out of 4 of my ABS sensors are working and all consistent except the left front one. It works but it goes up and down in speed. This is using a good Snap On scanner and monitoring the datastream. I got a new sensor and put it in. It works but the reading from it is even more erratic than the original one.
There's 16,000 miles on the wheel bearing I changed in that corner. Could it be that the magnetic ring is damaged/defective? I cleaned it as best as I could and cleared the ABS dash warning but it never clears and is constantly there. The scan keeps pointing to the left front sensor. It's frustrating.
Any input is appreciated, thanks.
Check the ground cables for those sensors for damage and corrosion
@@humbledhands the problem all along was a bad wheel bearing magnetic stripe. Swapped it and good to go.
Is The car key in “on” position to get the code?
Yes, to get a trouble code the module needs to be powered up. Either with the engine running or the key in the on position with the engine off.
~Mike
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
~Mike
Could you just short wire's together and see short reported then you know wiring good. So sensor or tone ring.
On gm with digital sensor it will kill power immediately if it sees a short.
Hey Ian, great question. Charlie nailed it, on GM's. Not sure about Ford, haven't tried it but i'd assume similar strategy.
~Mike
multi meter on sensor spinning wheel should show activity on AC mode
On an AC style sensor that is correct. On this magneto resistive (MR) sensor, a digital square wave is produced. The sensor requires power and ground to operate.
~Mike
Its simple till you get 90s car with very intermittent signal loss going over bumps. No codes will tell you which wheel has signal loss. Driven with oscilloscope for hours back probed to all signal wires. Gave up
Hey Trout Junkie, thanks for watching! Sounds like a great diagnostic path to get the car diagnosed. Which sensor was bad?
~Mike
if it was a tone ring the code would't show up unless it was moving
Hey, you're right, that's a great point!
~Mike
In that case, you would most likely have a performance or signal code rather than a circuit code
super super super....
Hello,
Right! Apparently super was the word of the day 😂
~Ryan
@@GoTechTraining for lunch today the soup of the day was super😜
hahahhahah sometimes I just get super stuck on a word 😂
~Mike
eh i’d rather pay someone who needs money like you than doing any of this😂😂
That's fine too! Not everyone want's to fix stuff themselves :)
~Mike
I'm about to junk my 2012 dodge charger because don't even god can fix a rear left sensor and the crappy car is in safe mode since that. Replace Sensor, Axle, ABS module, Entire ABS module, and no way. I have normal read from 4 sensors like is ok but remain saying that have issues in rear left sensor and limp mode. IDK what else to do.
BUT, what is the problem?
Bad tone ring only set the code while driving
Hi,
100% true, we checked it so we wouldn't run the risk of discovering it after we fixed the wheel speed sensor. This ABS light was on for a while!
Thanks for watching!
