Ford Focus ABS Fault how to replace rear wheel speed sensor yourself traction control fault mk3

[@terencethomas6742]

Thank you for this simple to follow video,you explained very well how to replace the sensor and will definitely have a go myself after seeing how it’s done so thanks again

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your feedback, I always appreciate the support of my channel.

[@monikel]

Thank you Marty for making this video. I am a woman and I decided to replace it myself because I was given quotes £150 (mobile mechanic) and £200 in a garage.

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your feedback I'm glad my video could help

[@saqibsandhu1883]

It was very easy and straightforward video. Really appreciate for sharing your knowledge. Thank you

Going to try! I’ve had these lights on for months. I was ready to give her up but this gives me hope! Thank you! 🎉😅

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your feedback back, I'm glad my videos could help

Mine is a 2017 focus estate, it has drum brakes on the rear is it much different that you know of?

[@Martysworkshop]

It shuld be in the same place to my knowledge

[@Just_Burgers]

Brilliant video Marty!

[@Martysworkshop]

Cheers and thank you for your support

[@37rowan]

Thanks for that my car fix 👍🏻just have a question my Front brakes are my a howling sound after hard Breaking and then taking off I hear the noise again have ya ever have that problem?

[@Martysworkshop]

It could be the pads sticking in the carrier, I would take them apart and cheak it is all free

[@37rowan]

@@Martysworkshop thx will give it a go 👍🏻

[@BrianCampbell-t7k]

Would the same apply to a 2015 focus regarding just driving to clear the fault ?

[@Martysworkshop]

Possibly it should be the same

[@posniknelb6114]

Hi mate. Do you know if it's the same procedure on the mk2 focus. I can't find anything on the mk2 replacement?

[@Martysworkshop]

It shuld be the same, or very similar

[@posniknelb6114]

@@Martysworkshop Thanks mate. Will it have the window on top of hub, so i can see what im doing? It looks a tight squeeze ?

[@dt1607]

I have the same issue. Also message for Hill start assist and active city stop. Do you think they are all connected? ie same sensor fault. Thanks

[@Martysworkshop]

Yes all them systems are controlled by the abs

[@jrewillis]

You need a specific sensor that supports the park assist / hill assist. Best to remove the sensor and check the parts number on the one you have. There are multiple versions. You Must Replace like for like.

Replaced my RL ABS sensor this evening, but sadly the ABS and traction control lights are still on along with the warnings about hill start and city stop. I fear the problem might be else where i.e. broken wire or dodgy connection somewhere on mine. Accessing that torx screw was bit of a pain, trying to see what you are doing and finding a angle to get the screw driver in.

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for your input

[@joshuamason3261]

Try sticking a 1 mil washer maybe just a little smaller if you can get hold of one. Some times the abs ring swells.

[@benniethai7829]

Very useful video. 🙏🏽

[@Martysworkshop]

Thank you for watching

[@julianhill-boxedpixels4580]

Thanks Marty good to know its an easy enough fix. Is it safe to drive with both these lights on as cant get to the garage for 5 days or so.

[@Martysworkshop]

Only thing it efects is you traction control and abs won't work, the brakes will revert to standard braking

[@Callum_English]

My MK3 has the ABS light, no stop start and speedometer not working now. It's the same problem?

[@Martysworkshop]

I'm not sure sorry

[@psychedelic471]

i have a problem on my ford focus mk3 i changed the abs sensor on the rear wheel and still i have the abs and esp and tire warning light on the screens after they told me to change the cable abs which matches the wheel sensor with the bottom of the car but still the same problem with the lights on the dashboard do you have an idea or a solution to my problem thank you

[@Martysworkshop]

You need to read the dtc in the abs module was it a voltage code? Or a tone ring code? It could be the tone ring built into the wheel bearing.

[@psychedelic471]

@@Martysworkshop I packed it is noted U0415:00 ODDTCs received invalid data from ABS control module (A) Thank you

[@ianmorris7715]

Great video, where did you get the sensor from, and is there one on each side. I really don't want to go to ford. Tia

[@Martysworkshop]

I got the sensor from mu local factors

[@jonathanwood6522]

What is the price range of a fix like this on 2010 Ford Focus?

[@Martysworkshop]

Well the sensors is around £20 for the sensor (link in description) then Labour in mu area is around £50 an hour so no more than an hour to replace, and some garages charge a plug in fee for the diagnostic whitch can cost anything up to £50, so no around £100 -£150 depending on garages I guess. Hope this helps

[@radishpea6615]

This video was very helpful but doing the nearside/left side it was not that easy. Visibility and hand access seemed much harder. I found the damper was in the way.

on my ST 2013, i have the issue with the odometer it does not shows the speed, only works the RPM, any idea how to fix it??

[@Martysworkshop]

Is the abs light on?

[@ZhinoZ]

@@Martysworkshop no, the only light that is on is for the catalytic sensor.

[@Martysworkshop]

Not sure then sorry would need to be plugged in

[@memeprez1281]

Yeah the other side not so easy as there is no hole you can look through , but that’s the thing every one on you tube always does the easy side 😂

[@Martysworkshop]

True, thank you for watching

[@sajhussain9848]

I got quite easy access to it from behind with a long extension and 1/4 inch ratchet but agreed, the left side isn't as easy. I didn't remove the wheel on either side.

[@corymerry3399]

My abs lights and traction lights came on one day. So I watch this video and think I figure it out. After replacing both rear wheel sensors the lights are still on and now the red brake light it on. Idk what to do. Lol maybe I'll replace the fronts and see what happens

[@Martysworkshop]

Yea probably the front

[@corymerry3399]

​@@Martysworkshopso I replaced all the sensors front and back. Still abs lights. Bought an abs scan tool and it says it's the rear l and r. I had the old ones put them in and still says the rear. I'm going to order oem ones and see if this changes it. I'll update

[@Martysworkshop]

Please let me know how you get on

[@corymerry3399]

@@Martysworkshop So I have an update! The local parts store sold me the Grey wheel sensors. My model is the 1.0l Se w/o parking assist. My car came with black sensors oem. I went back to the parts store and purchased 2 black wheel sensors and took out the Grey ones and bam! No more ABS lights!!! Make sure to see if your model can use the Grey sensors for parking assist or black sensors for non parking assist.

@@corymerry3399I wouldn’t go off colours 🤪 mine has parking assist and they are black.

He must not have 😂

i have the abs, traction and my mph not working

[@Martysworkshop]

Then you have a wheel speed fault

[@oldxoul]

@@Martysworkshop i changed the sensor and still the same thing 🤦🏽‍♂️i recycled the key too. no codes

[@Martysworkshop]

Did you drive it far after?

[@oldxoul]

@@Martysworkshop about 10 miles

[@Martysworkshop]

That's more than enough, so what scanner are you using? Does it have live data? You would need to pull up the 4 wheel speeds on a graph and drive the car then compare the signals, if 1 is missing or all over the place then that is your problem area, it could also be the pickup ring witch is ether in the wheel bearing or mounted on the hub
