Man I wish I could buy you a beer. I went to the dealership for this EXACT issue, ABS error message started coming on randomly and then eventually it comes on and stays on every time I move the truck. They plugged their little doo-dad into the dash and said "It's an internal error, we need to replace the whole abs module. We can do it next month and it'll cost $1900." I laughed in their faces. I found this video after 15 minutes of looking online, I'm picking up $20 worth of sensors from the parts store tomorrow. If this works I'm a good mind to go back to that dealership and take them to task for being scam artists.

Same issue changed all sensors nothing changed

My ESP BAS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKE lights came on. I found out it was my brake fluid. I checked the brake fluid it was low, because I have a cracked brake caliper that was leaking, so I refilled the brake fluid and the lights came off. I tried the speed sensors and they did not solve the problem, they were cheap so it was not a big deal. Hope this helps.

Where did you buy sensors?

[@doncottle5486]

Mine didn’t reset with the start of the engine, I drove it for about a mile then the lights disappeared. Thanks for the help and saving me a ton of cash!

I won't be paying Dodge $150 to "find the problem" now. Thank you.

Chevys you gotta take the entire wheel hub off geez!

Thanks for the great video. 30 minutes of labor and the problem was fixed! I found it easier to remove the 8mm bolt and the sensor before disconnecting it from the plug (and likewise connecting the replacement before bolting it in). It strikes me that it's easier separating the sensor from the plug when it's in a less restrictive space and when one can get a grip on the two parts to be separated. Also, the red tab on the left-rear wheel was hidden from view until I removed the bolt and the sensor connected to the wiring.

Im having this but in my grand caravan. No abs light but just traction control light and no cruise like yours. Would this be the same fix?

Before you change the sensor you should take the wheel off and check the gear the sensor reads from some times the gets covered in brake pad debris and makes the sensor think the wheel is spinning really fast because it looks like solid metal no breaks.

Pete B. is right about changing both. I changed the right rear about 6 months ago, now I'm crawling under the truck to change the left rear.

[@hueyman624]

Thank you so much. This solved my problem. Saved me a bundle and was an easy fix. I would never have thought to look there.

[@CarlosRojas-oy7pm]

Man thanks a lot, today I started my truck and I saw all those lights on, I really freaked out, well it turned out my dog had bitten cut one of the cable. So thanks to you I knew that the cable was the problem, I put them back together and I started the engine, and the lights were gone. Thanks a lot mate, greets from Chile!

Thank you for sharing this info...the lights just came on driving home from work. Appreciate it

[@kgashmy1]

Thanks million, your video still useful after 5 years, I’m changing my 2014 1500 ram on the other side of the world…. Much appreciated bro

[@JH-cb3uo]

Thanks, mine just came on for no reason today. Glad to see it's an easy enough fix. 👊👍

[@r.p.8179]

Thanks for clearly showing the details as you did the work!

[@tjam2698]

Just replaced the rear sensors on my 2011 ram 1500 lonestar hemi pickup after having this same problem. Thanks for this video!

[@bald140]

Thanks.... my wife was driving my truck for about 2 months, when I jumped in 1 day and saw it. I will be ordering the part to replace next week 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏾
