ABS Wheel Sensor Replacement & Sensor Ring Cleaning - EASY How To!

[@SirRommy]

Wish I had seen this video sooner. Was having ABS/Traction Control lights coming on. The speed sensor was not the issue. Instead it was the sensor ring on the axle; it was cracked. But I thought the sensor ring was part of the wheel bearing as I kept seeing in other videos. I'm glad the mechanic found this out and didn't just replace the wheel bearing!

[@joeshow8815]

one of the best videos on you tube-regardless of the topic. you presented the procedure in orderly sequence of steps which make sense. Just watching it, and reading a comment from one of the viewers who said he had 2 lights on the dashboard (brake system and ABS-exactly what I have in my car) I have a sensation , I found the solution I was looking for . And even if not, still a great video.

[@mehmetsaka5261]

Thank you so much for the help. I had 2 lights on the dashboard (brake system and ABS), now I solved the issue.

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it helped

[@VinayakGovande]

did the lights disappear after cleaning the wheel sensor ring?

[@KnightenDaise]

Far better than the other videos I watched. Thank you for your auto service!! 😅

[@helpinguonline]

I appreciate that!

[@user-ml8dm9fz6l]

lotta people leave out what they did and only explain bits and pieces

[@bjsaun]

Best video on this topic so far. Great stuff.

[@chuckmayoification]

Wow, excellent photography! Best vid I've seen on this, thanks for taking the time and making the effort to get it right!

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chuckmayoification]

@@helpinguonline Can I ask why you were so reserved with the compressed air on the tone ring cleanup and didn't blast it with a much higher volume/psi of air?

[@benballano6624]

Thank you that is the exact situation of my truck saves me lot best video ever👍👍👍

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it helped

[@geraldwalsh6489]

Greetings from Ireland!! Great video. My ABS and traction light plus check brake system light has been interrmittent for past four years. Think its the wheel sensor

[@edwardrogers-wright1604]

Cleaning part is excellent though whole video is appreciated! Can't the harness have been spliced near the wheel?

[@mahed82]

You are my savior. Thanks so much .you save me time and a lot of hard work .

[@helpinguonline]

Glad I could help you!

[@GoogleilearnBlogspote]

Thank you so much is this exactly what I was looking for

[@helpinguonline]

Glad to hear it was helpful!

[@tererez]

Thanks! I had a abs error on a GX110. The sensor show signs of physical damage. Changed it, cleared the code, but the pedal still pulsed at slow braking. Did this cleaning and voila!

[@helpinguonline]

Way to go!

[@aronp713]

Wow, very informative video. What if all you needed was a cleaning and the sensor wasn’t messed up. Those things are expensive. Specially the OEMs they’re like 200+ dollars you can get some aftermarket ones for a light 80 bucks.

[@mrkarir]

Great video. Typically Toyota ABS error codes are hard to read. Which tool did you use?

[@acme4fun547]

Very educational/helpful.....thank you.

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jacksonkulu3809]

I will try your method. I happen to see my car turn its ABS wheel sensor light when the engine is on and lost the light when it is moving some 10 meters away..i have tried everything but not this one..thanks for inspiring people who is like me who loves fixing a car DIY...thanks man..

[@Cammed5point3sierra]

Did it work ? Same happens to mine

[@timvo4675]

Save alot of rhe money thanks very much my friends

[@nicktran939]

Great video with best tips. Everyone just say replace wheel sensor.

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it helped

[@danielmalloy6093]

I am going to check the cable going to the sensor first for resistance ohms. Then if good wires, clean the pocket like you did. Before I spring for a cable and sensor.

[@jasonaustin7303]

Did that work or did you need a new sensor?

[@RidiculousNicholas]

Great Job!!!

[@JohnSmith-ok9sn]

I understand removing the metal shavings, and all, but if the shavings are the culprit, then it (logically) would mean that the sensor is still good, right? And, once cleaned of the shavings, should work properly, right? Did you check the old sensor, then? What if it was OK?

[@signiedmartes2762]

Thank you, very good explaining.

[@helpinguonline]

You are welcome!

[@samiuddin6696]

Really helpful video. Thanks a lot for helping us online

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paiwandmustafa5324]

I hope you are doing very well I have issues with abs speed sensor when I took outbthe old one it was shaving metal on but I didn't clean the ring unfortunately it was very good for around 60 minutes but agin shows the code do you think if I clean the ring it going to be fine many thanks?

[@helpinguonline]

Possibly or you may have another issue. It doesn’t cost anything to clean the rain so it is worth a try before you dig deeper

[@dl1483]

I am trying to locate an ABS Wheel Sensor of my car, the car in your video looks similar to mine, is it 2006 Toyota Avalon? Thank you.

[@adrianlogan3777]

Wow can’t wait to see your process for an oil change

[@andrewhorowitz4448]

Just because the code says it's a sensor failure. You may first clean the dirty tip. Once cleaned the sensor might function

[@politerudeboi6898]

I was gonna try that tomorrow lol probably buy the sensor anyway tho

[@sixthsense7]

Very good video... finally i found what i need

[@hamosouljahyt8788]

Can we use petrol instead of brake cleaner jus curious

[@tudor3874]

Can abs sensor cause issues with the tpms?

[@mrfandz7114]

Neat and clean explainations

[@michaelaj257]

Thanks I am not getting a good connection intermittent I will try cleaning the teeth to see if that works. I took it apart and couldn’t spin the teeth. I now see how to clean them. The one spot I cleaned was very dirty. And again thanks for your help

[@helpinguonline]

Glad it helped

[@singhsarabjit]

Hello Michael, did that work? Thanks G

[@trentriver]

[@okwui04]

[@nicolenorris818]

Good job

[@helpinguonline]

Thanks

[@timvo4675]

Very good

[@jadosmart1298]

why does it look like the sensor was touching against the sensor wheel or gear teeth? thats normal? and also if you wasnt going to change the sensor, can you clean them with brake fluid and towel as well?

[@danielmalloy6093]

I would use electrical cleaner on the sensor rather than brake cleaner, as it can damage it.

[@WoundedEgo]

There is a very small gap but there is a gap.

[@larrypage4416]

What do u spray in there to clean in side

[@helpinguonline]

Brake parts cleaner

[@Grunt-pr7od]

I think everyone I ever changed was from the factory and they usually break as i think they glue em in at the factory😮

[@jamesd6785]

I can believe that. As stuck as mine was, found my way here to see if a glue or silicone-type sealant was needed for the replacement to keep dirt and water out. So far it seems to be a no.

[@TIBURON6969]

thanks. I have broke tire an then use my sienna by 5 block to get my house an brocke de abs wheel speed sensor l get the estimate by 710.27 dollar . only the sensor 389.99 labor 107.80 an sometime more. total 710.27 with this video l can do my self . thanks

[@gigantadam]

cheers marra

[@1111comment]

Can a bad tone ring somehow cause a rough idle when weather is 85-90°

[@glenglene8473]

tone ring for ABS and nothing to do with idle.

[@WoundedEgo]

How old are you spark plugs and spark plug wires?

[@JorgeRodriguez-ei2gi]

Great tips videos Mr ,very helpfull,thanks,continúe,Say hello ,suscribe,Joe.

[@helpinguonline]

Thanks for the sub!

[@j.c187]

Personally I wouldnt use any type of brake cleaner or anything that dissolves grease inside a wheel bearing

[@EAGLE_OF_PERSIA]

Great

[@blakedoan1568]

[@eranlevi6547]

Why you don't clean the sensor? So you don't have to buy a new one
