NEVER Fix Another ABS Light Until Watching This!

[@surgeneral108]

MAN, ...you have no idea how much money you have saved a lot of us that are not to lazy to get our hands dirty! thanks!

[@IslandFloydo]

ABS are so common on my volkswagens. The assumption is *always* the speed sensor. When taking to vws to dealers, like I did this morning to find out which one of the sensors was bad, the mechanic was getting varying signals... so he just said, "They all need to be replaced. $754 please." Nope. This video is great... narrator is great... detailed and thorough (i.e. not just default to replacing everything like the dealership mechanic who assumes i have bottomless wallet). Liked and subscribed. I will Never Fix Another ABS Light Until Watching This -- Again. God Bless.

[@roberttill3787]

With ABS there are usually three common faults. One is the sensor, another is the wiring the last is the tone ring. Unless it has cracked its not often the tone ring. You can meter the sensor to see what it is reading, the normal reading can often be found for reference on the internet. If the sensor meters out, it is highly likely to be a wire or a junction not allowing the correct operation. By checking the voltage against the other side, as shown in this video, the wiring can soon be diagnosed. All in all a good instructional video.

You sir are a legend! Simple and direct answer is what we all need! 🙏🏻 god bless !

[@drbluzer]

This is very informative . I have a 2005 PT and the ABS and TRAC WARNING LIGHTS came on after going through a car wash . I am sure that this is water intrusion and that I just have to disconnect the sensor(s) and clean them with electrical cleaning spray .

Great technical overview thanks - It would be very useful to know which brand diagnostic scanner you used that gave the live speed data from each wheel? Thanks again.

[@doug3458]

Thank you for that video, I'm a step closer to solving my ABS problem. BTW, VW's frequently have a ring of magnets on the back of the bearing hub and a Hall effect sensor, rather than the toothed wheel and magnet pickup. I've already changed the bearing and sensor, but am still not getting any speed reading from the data stream, so a wiring check is next on the list.

Good video. At 2;32 you test voltage and I am wondering why there is voltage. I thought voltage is generated from the sensor when the wheel is turning which flows through the connections to the control unit. So there should be no voltage til wheel turns. What am I missing? Thanks

[@katherinecallaghan155]

Testing for resistence, the speed sensors have resistance when “bench” tested so you are able to test new ones on the spot to see if it is good.

Thanks for the question. Exactly what I experience.

[@curlyelp7530]

@@Ricotet4 OK Mr Eric, obviously this "prclaimliberty" is NOT going to answer. An update on this 2002 Ford F-150, is, they did a scan of the vehicle computer and came up with a code for the ABS controller. It is controlled by an electronic module, apparently it is NOT opening and closing the valves like it should. I understand you can have them "Flashed" (2-3 Hundred) or replaced for about $500. On a separate vehicle, I found one in the junk yard, and then I had it "Flashed". Or you can find one on Ebay. Check your wiring for looseness , Your sensors also could be loose or going bad, or your sending ring could be cracked. Lots to look for. God Bless !! Raul (PHX)

I don't understand how you get voltage (2:30) but then say you have no continuity and there is an open circuit. You checked and got voltage probing both terminal ends and not by putting one probe grounded to vehicle. Wouldn't you need continuity to acheive a voltage reading when using just the two terminal ends? Apologies in advance if I've overlooked something simple.

[@rvndmnmt1]

Mechanic here. The ABS control module monitors the sensors in the abs. 1997 was the second year our current ODB 2 was out in circulation. The two issues you have described were completely mechanical in nature for that period in time hence no light. As time has gone on, computing power gone up, number of sensors and computers increased. Those and other things that weren't monitored at that time are being monitored in current day. I know brake fluid levels and pad wear can be monitored now. At the time they weren't. If a brake line blows though any computer or sensor isn't going to give you that much of a heads up if any. When one of those goes its pretty obvious.

Unfortunately my abs sensor lead has no connector at the wheel end - so I guess I can't check for continuity?

[@franuelomoamilor9194]

When you were testing for continuity, I didn't where you place the multimeter red cable, was it on the sensor itself or the the wire connecting to the sense, if it the wire connecting to the abs, how were you able to get the two ends

Sorry, you're not asking me, but it is an OBDII reader that states it checks ABS. I have an Ancel fx2000 that I bought on Amazon for about $140..it looks and reads like his and it shows the mph, give detailed hard fault codes and erase them after repair. There's other OBDII's to choose from in different price ranges that will bleed brakes and are much fancier. The &140 was worth it, but I have something going on in my actual ABS module or pump that require a fancier scanner to tell me which part is failing. However, my OBDII told me all 4 speed sensors where bad and it was right, after replacing them it allowed me to clear the fault code. Hope that helped.

yes it does... ultimately you have Less stopping ppower at hand and although brakes may initially feel as strong when ABS if Not working, its when you have to push deep into the pedal that you will notice you just skid verses when ABS is wiorking, that deep press into the pedal, like in a panic stop, just hauls you down Fast, no lockup...in anything short of a panic stop, the brakes wiill feel similiar..just know you wont be able to stop in as short a distance..
