No more codes or problems. 62 year tech and I'm still in the business.

And maybe advice from some old timers. I call it learning experience. We all have made mistakes and we all know we won't do that mistake again. Example. Wheel bearing with ABS trigger ring in the seal. New guy put bearing in a car, activated an ABS code. He put the bearing in backwards. He won't do that again. Learning experience.

It took me 3 orders to get the right sensor, one from the dealership which turned out to be the oxygen sensor, one from Walmart which looked like a suspect counterfeit, and finally the correct one from advanced auto.
