how did you know your sensor was bad and needed to be replaced. My ABS light comes on periodically when I start car. brakes seem to work fine.

Everytime I was using my brakes or coming to a stock <10MPH, my ABS would go off. I replaced one, thought I had the correct side but didn't :( Swapped the other out and I was good to go! They are a pain to do since the body of them are plastic and get stuck in your housing... Be gentle.

When my sensor went bad the brakes would work fine until I was almost fully stopped, then the pedal would go to the floor and shake. I never had the light come on.

Actually I just disconnected it. But I found out later the wheel bearing assembly was bad and it was getting a false reading. My brakes would go right to the floor and I couldn't stop. When I disconnected it they worked fine.

The ABS light should always come on when first starting the car as it goes through its system check, then go out. My ABS would activate when coming to a stop, but my light never came on. After much trial and error and expense, I finally took it to the dealer. The sensor would not send the correct signal at slow speeds so the ABS thought that wheel was locking and activated. Save yourself some time and money and have someone with a scan tool check the sensors while driving. It will show the outputs of each sensor at different speeds and indicate a faulty one.

I took my car to O'Reillys auto parts and they put there tester on. It showed the left front abs sensor was at fault. They do it for free.

Not a mechanic but I do what I can. Fronts are built for front. They have sensors for your abs systems as rear would not. At least on my suv. Plain and simple. They are different parts as in direct fitment.

Take the sensor you removed and install it on the opposite side. If light goes out that was the bad sensor. If still on you possibly have a bad harness.

The sensors will not work. I have them on a 2012 cc and they are the wrong frequency.

Sometimes it will tell you or lead you to the problem. Sometimes your check engine lite will come on and go out, this you will need a little more knowledge of what's going on. For instants , engine does not reach operating temp. In time witch is preset in the ECM. A lot of people change the temp sensor, but a lot of time it's the thermostat that is no longer accurate.

When the service department changes the sensor they will have to reprogram the computer to register it. At that point the light will go out if there are no other problem. I do not believe this tool is able to register a new sensor, it does set the internal electronics into a diagnostic mode. However, each model year is unique and whether or not the internal electronics are able to register a new sensor ID or just reset to an existing one is specific to the internal. Same thing applies when you rotate the tires.

It has been awhile but I am fairly certain that all 4 sensors are the same so should work just fine. After I installed mine, drove around and the check engine light went out on its own. Joe

Do not need new sensors IF the brake light has not already gone on warning you the brakes should be replaced. If it has, need to replace sensors.

Same here, it's 10 months old and the sensor is broken. Seems to be a trend! Anyone contact the company about fixing it or warranty info?

I changed the bearing because it was making a howling noise. But I also had issues with the traction control on my son's 2002 Buick Century 5 yrs. ago and the dealer checked it out and said it was the sensor in the bearing so after $600 dollars it did not fix the problem. So I researched the internet and found that there were a lot of problems with the wire that feeds the sensor in the wheel bearing it was made too short and when you turned the wheels it would stretch the wire and created a short giving the ABS light on the dash. I found that if I cleared the light and took the car to an empty parking lot and drove in alternating circles I could get the ABS light to come on. So I changed out the wire per the internet instructions that GM has upgraded to fix the problem. Of course I guessed wrong on which side of the car to do and ended up changing out both wires. I could only locate the parts at the dealer. I think it comes with the wire and waterproof connectors. You have to follow the wire back into the wire harness 18 to 24 inches by removing the tape around the plastic loom and connect the new wire. I think the dealer parts were around $40 to $60. Hope this helps.

Very cool. Thanks. Im hoping its the temp sensor as I already replaced the element so far and thats the only thing left. Thanks again

I just changed my sensor and my light is still on, call up denso customer service line and tell them which bank and which sensor it is (señsor 1 or 2) and they should be able to confirm before you buy it, I advise DONT buy any sensors until you confirm which one it is, I believe on our gs there are a total of 4 02 sensors

I was unable to make ANY aftermarket TPMS sensors work with our Nissan Altima. After about $500 spent all replaced just to take it to the dealer and be told they won't set and they have to be bought at the dealer. I'm living with the light on and just checking the tires the old fashioned way.

Check your connections again. It may be an issue with your car or a bad ballast from the factory.

i changed my oem's because of the noise. i used the same brake kit, my car is silent.

Hi Robin, The transmission going into failsafe is a symptom of the main problem. You may still need an ABS control module. They fail very frequently on that model. If your ABS light is coming on and in many cases the speedometer stops registering then your ABS module could be malfunctioning and your ABS will not function properly if needed.

Are you sure that you are replacing the broken sensor? I had to trial and error until I got the right one and the light reset.
