Thanks Gerard for a clearly explained and filmed sequence. I can't do the diagnostics and repairs myself but will now be able to talk intelligently with the garage and probably prevent being taken on an expensive wild goose chase.
This has just happened to my 2012 VW Passat. Was very worried about it but having seen this i am hoping that it will not cost me the earth to get it fixed. Thanks very much - i owe you a beer!
I’m so happy that my ESC stopped working I can actually drive my Jetta in the winter now without worrying about getting stuck if there’s a 1” of snow on a flat road.
Thanks for this, it helped me confidentiality explain to my garage that I thought it was an issue with the wheel speed sensor, I didn’t realise the ABS sensor reads wheel speed, makes sense now I think about it, he thought it was the wheel bearings, I suggested they swap the sensors over, which is possible on my VW SV, they did and fault registered on changed position. New sensor fitted all faults cleared. Really helpful video thanks for taking the time
ABS signs pop up on my dashboard, the garage is suggesting it maybe the ABS pump without doing much checks. I will suggest checking the sensors. Hope to come back with feedback. Thanks
@@awurajjtry getting the car scanned for errors and reset fault codes. Test each wheel with an auto scanner to test each wheel indivually to trace faulty sensor.
I just had this fault with my 2017 VW Tiguan. I pulled all four speed sensors. Measure the resistance on each sensor. Three had the same value and one had half the value. Replaced the right rear sensor that showed the low value with a OEM sensor from VW for $160.00. The was cleared. Hope this helps you.
Described in a way that's easy to understand for the home mechanic as usual. Well done sir, very informative. Also, done without the obligatory UA-cam 10 minutes of b/s before getting to the point.
Took the Passat into my local garage. They ran the diagnostics and...rear right WSS was defective. Replaced it and all was good. On my test drive I also noticed that acceleration was improved significantly.
I replaced the sensors but I dont have the computer to reset the codes, and the dealership will charge me a leg and arm to do it but I love the video very self explanatory thanks for you time and knowledge
Just wanted to say thanks for an excellent video. Although I’m unable to diagnose and fix the issue myself, I can now go to a VW specialist and say exactly what needs checking/replacing. I’ve had my 2012 VW Touran 1.6 SE for a month, done 3000 miles, and had this error on 90% of my journeys. The supplying dealer ‘fixed’ it within a few days of purchase, but obviously they just cleared the fault codes! Thanks 👍
Good video. With modern cars it can be the sensor or something else triggering the sensor so technology can be a nightmare. In my old BMW e30 none of this carry on--if there is a problem with the brakes, they start to squeal until repaired.
My VW golf MK5 2007, same happened. Steering wheel sign, abs sign and traction control sign all came together and disappeared after 30 seconds. Same as yours. I was on the motorway and my heart nearly stopped.
Hi All, I had this fault the morning I was going on a short holiday. The fault code suggested the rear left abs sensor was faulty. I managed to buy the sensor and thought I could get it fitted when on holiday. Not so. I drove the car for about 350 miles with this fault. Eventually, back home fortunately, the car gave transmission problems(DSG). The car remained in 1st gear, occasionally it would change up using the paddles but it was undriveable. I changed the sensor myself, cleared the codes, and all is now well! So a duff abs sensor can screw up your transmission! regards, Brian.
I've had the same faults a week ago, the problem with my car was the right rear bearing of the wheel, especially the little ABS magnetic crown.It has multiple little ridges, which send a signal to the ABS sensor, but there was a piece of the crown missing, so i had to replace the whole bearing cuz they are welded together.It was not an expensive fix, only 100 euros/ little over 100 dollars.
Hi, what kind of issue did your R32 have? My MKV R32 just came with a power steering problem, yellow light trun to red. Besides the DSG PRNDS flashed and the airbag light was also on the dash.
Thanks very much for posting this dude! I have a 2013 Audi A4 3.0tdi Quattro with very similar warnings plus a "headlight range control" warning, all of which came on together at exactly the same time. I know where to start looking now thanks to you!
My 2013 CC has a bad right speed sensor and all those errors came up but also had had a malfunction light for the afs head lights I watched your video to see if mine wasn’t the only one doing this
I have a VW Golf 7 2014 and after connecting the computer, it displays error B116816 steering angle sensor - too low voltage. Does the tape need to be replaced or is the problem somewhere else?
Sir I salute you I had these warnings lights on my tiguan '12 dash I had an accident that ruined my right rear axle had to change the whole axle but dash warnings were lit like a Christmas tree in extra my parking sensors and park assist weren't working also. But after seeing your video I had my finger crossed that this sensor issue will fix every thing and thankfully it did. Just had to remove the one of battery terminals and unplug the sensor like you did then reset. And there it is all lights dissappeared and all the ops sensors are working fine
Absolutely Amazing Video Gerard. Well done. After £466 fitting a wheel new bearing (&new brake pads) to my Rear off side (as in video) I still had this problem...Hopefully you have diagnosed my problem....I can complain to my garage now and show them how to fix it..Many Thanks
just had this exact warning batch pop up suddenly when driving on b7 passat. parked it up. then started the car again and drove it and the errors dissapeared? could it be that a pot hole or bump triggered the sensor? very strange
Without having a VCDS how can you determine which sensor it has just happened to me on my rLine passat 2013. Also can these be done with the wheel still on the car or does each wheel have to come off the car
I just had my 2014 1.2 tsi Yeti front and rear brakes and 2 front tyres replaced. After a couple of days my dash light lit up like Blackpool illuminations 😂. ( ESC, steering, ABS, bend lights(!) , tyre pressure .... could this all be down to a sensor ?
Hi have a vw golf 2008 the problem can. Up a few days ago. ABS LIGHT and traction light handbrake light its on the dask knock if off next day came back up. Just wondering what would if be ??? Thanks
Any ideas on our situation? VW Touran 2012. In cold temp the car won't start at all and then is throwing up the ESC fault (no others). Mechanic checked yesterday and it had a throttle pedal fault? After that was cleared it ran fine until the next morning (cold overnight again) and still no start and ESC fault. Battery is fine. No clue what to do and my mechanic doesn't seem to know either
I have the same issues but with B8 passat. My blocks were all ok, but it showed that the lent just after steering wheel was bad. We changed it and still nothing. Really hoping it is not the big block down by the wheels.
Thank you very much. My 2012 Passat 1.6tdi have exactly that problem. I was so afraid when all these warning lights came on, and then it proved to be just a sensor on one wheel, a 10€ part and 15 minutes of work... Pheew...
Would this also stop the power steering operating, I have a multitude of warning lights including the autostart error but it does drive! model 2012 bluemotion Engine 2.0 CR (Diesel) will do a VAGCom check
John Bullas I have the same problem! Power steering, traction control and abs. My wheel speed sensor was replaced very recently too. Could you please tell me wha your VAGCom check said
Hi I have the same faults but they all disappear after a 5 minute drive could that be the same issue with my vehicle a couple of mechanics said it’s the battery but after replacing battery still has same errors but only on startup as I drive they disappear
I have the same 2013 model - same lights - but now have a red warning brake light as well. No speeds coming from either rear wheels. The mechanic says the abs rings and sensors are fine but does not know what the problem is. Do you have any ideas?
Same VW Car - 2013 - same error message & fault displays showing - today 17th April 2021 - just had new disc and pads fitted - wonder if this has caused an issue with the brake sensors - will be showing them this video - I think a pint or two might be on their why to Gerard.
Since last week i have multiple errors.. all come together, a few come later, the problem over 9 time’s back to the full normal situation than back again, this times stuck.. auto hold,start stop, ABS , ESP, tiers pressure monitoring, front assistance, crosse control and a few errors more which I can’t remember now.. even its shout down my back camera but its works again.. all is begins with one long loud alarm and 2 or 3 smaller alarms .. really a headache..
This happened to my 2014 Tiguan in January! Cost to replace right rear wheel speed sensor was $357.50. Just got the same warning lights yesterday so am assuming another wheel sensor has gone bad!
I have the same problem...but...when all those amber lights are off the brak pedal is acting weird and grinding noises and can't drive over 30mph and when they are on the break works 100%.. so what is it?? thank you
Great video which my scan tool is an obd11 it's giving me an issue pretty much with all the sensors. Is there like a control module for all of them? Appreciate the video!
My problem is this, I have a 2006 2.0tdi passat, lights on dash are steering, Esc & power steering: Ive changed EPB switch and lights still on, went for a drive and parking brake operates as it should, same with steering and brakes.... any ides please Gerard.
Gerard, great and very helpful video, thank you. My 2016 VW Passat has all lights lit, ABS, Airbag, Steering, Traction, etc., and the dealer yesterday told me BOTH rear wheel sensors are bad, AT THE SAME TIME (??) Does this make sense, that both would fail simultaneously? I did not go through any water puddles or any other unusual terrain, so how likely is it that they both failed? The car is exactly ONE month past the 36 month warranty! They are quoting $565 for the replacement of both. I thought I might bring it to a "shadetree mechanic" I know, buy the parts and save$ but unsure what to do. Could you possibly tell me whether it seems plausible that both sensors failed at once? THANKS and thanks for this UA-cam video!
Going through the same thingy right now. Dealer recommended BOTH rear abs/speed sensors AND the brake master cylinder AND brake power booster. Any ideas?
@@orlandosanchez8947 I called VW North America 1-800-822-8987 To contact VW Customer CARE, please call 1-800-822-8987, or on Twitter - direct message @VW, or use #VWCares. I complained that it seemed impossible that both sensors went bad at the same time and that the mileage was low and there was no dirt etc and that the issue arose like a week after the 36 month warranty expired. VW N Amer called the dealer. I had to put a lot of pressure on the dealer, the service manager - someone who rarely ever interacts with the public. I was pleasant and yet very insistent. Theyreduced the repair cost by about 80% and completed the replacement with just the 20% I had already paid for the "diagnosis" and now it rides fine. But I am not planning to buy another VW.

Urve Pesti what a shower of robbing bass turds! I bought one Bosch sensor today for €22, roughly $25. It takes no more than 15 minutes to change. Main dealers are only good for warranty claims at a push. 😖
I had all these same lights appear on my 2012 passat 1.8tsi after I did an oil change, I'm guessing that jacking one side of the car up to get to the sump plug must have caused it
My VW 2012 CC C Sport had this happen as well. When I hit the brake, the car stops. The break pedal builds up pressure as it should, but then the pressure releases and pedal goes to floor but csr stays stopped. There is a vibration in the pedal when it happens. Dealership said master brake cylinder and power booster. Thoughts?
I had a 2016 jetta fall into limp mode ..I was driving n then all the sudden a bunch of lights were on n flashing. It was rainy I was on a bumpy rd n couldn't figure it out. The next day I got under it n just happened to see something that looked out of place. Long story short it was the turbo actuator. That rod that will go back n forth snapped. Must have been when I hit a bad pothole. But yeah I think it was a few torque screws to get it out. I got it out n welded the rod back together nicely put it back on n wallah fixed. I felt so cool lol. I've come across a few ppl with that same issue that were just about broken down enuf that they were gonna pay a lot of cash to have a shop bullshit them n fix something that they could do themselves for damn near nothing.
Thanks a ton for the how to video, cost me £14.99 for a new sensor, £10 to get the codes scanned and under an hour to fit it. As soon as I put the key fob in the faults were gone. Saved me a goddamn fortune, would have been £100's to get main agent to diagnose and fix I bet. Is it advisable to get the fualt codes cleared?
@@Biliskner No i didn't get even get any kind of quote I did it myself, I knew it would be a ridiculous price. I have a family member who works in the car parts trade so got the part cheap, but even ebay etc are pretty cheap for any of the 4 sensors. So I got a local garage to check the error codes (£10) as you need to know which one to change as they are all different of course. If you have an OBD2 scanner you can get the codes yourself. Then it's a fairly easy process to change if you have the basic tools required and don't mind getting on your back under a jacked up car. Just make sure it's secure and try to have someone else there to keep an eye out. Axle stand and jack in combination is recommended as you need to remove the wheel and will have your head right under there.....don't want it falling on you :P
I have these lights on after doing an emergency stop. My OBD tool says "no fault codes".How can I reset the lights to see if they come on again to tell me there is definitely a problem? Great video by the way. Thanks
G'day! Could this also explain a fault electric steering assistance? I have all these faults plus a red steering wheel sign on my Golf mK7 and a very heavy steering wheel. Can I drive the car to the mechanic or do I have to tow it?
Hello Gerard, so far the best kind of explanation I’ve found. I have the exact same issue. How much does that kind of sensor cost? How much money would I have to expend on making someone repair it?
Is this a common thing? How often do we need to do this? My Sharan Mk2 has had its sensor(s) replaced once maybe 2-3 years ago and today it’s showing again.
I recently hit the heck out of my front right wheel unto a curb recently. The whole wheel was bent inwards towards the car in which i had to replace the ball point, control arm, sway bar link and strut assembly (It was really bad!). The car drives good now but i have these lights coming including the power steering and an air bag error code. Should I replace the wheel bearing and the ABS sensor?
So I have a 2014 VW Tiguan. I get ABS, Start Stop, bending lights, electronic break and tyre pressure warning lights on my dash! Hope it's something as simple as this.
Hi my Volkswagen shows ABS, TC, city auto brake, start/stop , tpms error at once but when i drive a little and then stop the engine and then turn on the errors get fixed. Can this be because of a faulty battery or sensor issue ?
My car keeps switching off and gives me a multiple fault msg upon shutdown...Park brake fault, ESC fault, start stop fault, servo brake fault, loss of tyre pressure...but the dealership has placed the car on the diagnostics and no faults come up...any suggestions?
I’ve got a T5.1 California and the Stop/start, ABS, ESC and tyre pressure monitor all at the same time. Only thing is I don’t have a tyre pressure monitor on the van. Also I can’t turn ESC on or off the button doesn’t have a light showing where the stop/start lights up but doesn’t work anyway. Tried a code reader and no faults show so I’m a bit flummoxed..Think I will try changing the 2 rear sensors as I can’t think of anything else. Has anyone else go any ideas please.
Thanks Gerard for a clearly explained and filmed sequence. I can't do the diagnostics and repairs myself but will now be able to talk intelligently with the garage and probably prevent being taken on an expensive wild goose chase.

Going through the same thingy right now. Dealer recommended BOTH rear abs/speed sensors AND the brake master cylinder AND brake power booster. Any ideas?

I complained that it seemed impossible that both sensors went bad at the same time and that the mileage was low and there was no dirt etc and that the issue arose like a week after the 36 month warranty expired. VW N Amer called the dealer. I had to put a lot of pressure on the dealer, the service manager - someone who rarely ever interacts with the public. I was pleasant and yet very insistent. Theyreduced the repair cost by about 80% and completed the replacement with just the 20% I had already paid for the "diagnosis" and now it rides fine. But I am not planning to buy another VW.

Urve Pesti what a shower of robbing bass turds! I bought one Bosch sensor today for €22, roughly $25. It takes no more than 15 minutes to change. Main dealers are only good for warranty claims at a push. 😖
Is it possible for these faults to throw a check engine as well?
Thankyou, lovely presentation.
I had all these same lights appear on my 2012 passat 1.8tsi after I did an oil change, I'm guessing that jacking one side of the car up to get to the sump plug must have caused it
My VW 2012 CC C Sport had this happen as well. When I hit the brake, the car stops. The break pedal builds up pressure as it should, but then the pressure releases and pedal goes to floor but csr stays stopped. There is a vibration in the pedal when it happens. Dealership said master brake cylinder and power booster. Thoughts?
Same thing happens on my Passat 2012. There is a Vibration and it's on and off. The guys ABS module needs to be replaced.
Hey I have the same issue. How did you fix it?
I had a 2016 jetta fall into limp mode ..I was driving n then all the sudden a bunch of lights were on n flashing. It was rainy I was on a bumpy rd n couldn't figure it out. The next day I got under it n just happened to see something that looked out of place. Long story short it was the turbo actuator. That rod that will go back n forth snapped. Must have been when I hit a bad pothole. But yeah I think it was a few torque screws to get it out. I got it out n welded the rod back together nicely put it back on n wallah fixed. I felt so cool lol. I've come across a few ppl with that same issue that were just about broken down enuf that they were gonna pay a lot of cash to have a shop bullshit them n fix something that they could do themselves for damn near nothing.
I've got the same exact problem right now with the rear right ABS sensor on my 2012 tiguan fwd.
Thanks a ton for the how to video, cost me £14.99 for a new sensor, £10 to get the codes scanned and under an hour to fit it. As soon as I put the key fob in the faults were gone. Saved me a goddamn fortune, would have been £100's to get main agent to diagnose and fix I bet.
Is it advisable to get the fualt codes cleared?
did a local garage close to you fix it? my VW dealership is already quoting £180 JUST FOR THE PART (!!!)
@@Biliskner No i didn't get even get any kind of quote I did it myself, I knew it would be a ridiculous price.
I have a family member who works in the car parts trade so got the part cheap, but even ebay etc are pretty cheap for any of the 4 sensors.
So I got a local garage to check the error codes (£10) as you need to know which one to change as they are all different of course. If you have an OBD2 scanner you can get the codes yourself.
Then it's a fairly easy process to change if you have the basic tools required and don't mind getting on your back under a jacked up car. Just make sure it's secure and try to have someone else there to keep an eye out. Axle stand and jack in combination is recommended as you need to remove the wheel and will have your head right under there.....don't want it falling on you :P
I have these lights on after doing an emergency stop. My OBD tool says "no fault codes".How can I reset the lights to see if they come on again to tell me there is definitely a problem? Great video by the way. Thanks
I would suggest getting a proper diagnostic or VAGCOM
Thanks for the video. Excellent!
Surprised that replacing that sensor also fixed the start-stop and parking brake fault lights (?).
Very helpful, thanks very much.
how close the sensor must be to the ring on bearing? i have a 2 mm far and no reading
Good question i was wondering the same thing.
G'day! Could this also explain a fault electric steering assistance? I have all these faults plus a red steering wheel sign on my Golf mK7 and a very heavy steering wheel. Can I drive the car to the mechanic or do I have to tow it?
Hi I am having the same issue here, especially with the heavy steering. How did you get it resolved?
Is it ok to drive for awhile with this fault?.... Light on on ours and wondering does it affect braking or handling?...
Hello Gerard, so far the best kind of explanation I’ve found. I have the exact same issue. How much does that kind of sensor cost? How much money would I have to expend on making someone repair it?
Is this a common thing? How often do we need to do this? My Sharan Mk2 has had its sensor(s) replaced once maybe 2-3 years ago and today it’s showing again.
Having this issue with my 2012 VW golf days stabilizer fault car is in park but p is blinking and car won’t start at all, could this be the same?
Which wireless scan tool did u use to connect to vcds
I recently hit the heck out of my front right wheel unto a curb recently. The whole wheel was bent inwards towards the car in which i had to replace the ball point, control arm, sway bar link and strut assembly (It was really bad!). The car drives good now but i have these lights coming including the power steering and an air bag error code. Should I replace the wheel bearing and the ABS sensor?
So I have a 2014 VW Tiguan. I get ABS, Start Stop, bending lights, electronic break and tyre pressure warning lights on my dash! Hope it's something as simple as this.
Same error messages I'm having on my 2013 VW CC
How did you fixed it I have a 2015 Tiguan? With all the light on
Same issue on 14 Mk7 Golf
Same issue for me - Passat rline 2015
Mechanic has told me it's coming back as a problem with my ABS Pump/Module. Turns out this can be quite expensive. 😩
Hi my Volkswagen shows ABS, TC, city auto brake, start/stop , tpms error at once but when i drive a little and then stop the engine and then turn on the errors get fixed. Can this be because of a faulty battery or sensor issue ?
Did you ever get this resolved? Having the same issue
I drive a POLO GTI 1.4 and it's a front wheel drive. Does the rear wheels have sensor?
Siyabonga Mngoma yes
My car keeps switching off and gives me a multiple fault msg upon shutdown...Park brake fault, ESC fault, start stop fault, servo brake fault, loss of tyre pressure...but the dealership has placed the car on the diagnostics and no faults come up...any suggestions?
You have solution?
Hi how do i put off my traction control on 2014 polo tsi 1.2
I’ve got a T5.1 California and the Stop/start, ABS, ESC and tyre pressure monitor all at the same time. Only thing is I don’t have a tyre pressure monitor on the van. Also I can’t turn ESC on or off the button doesn’t have a light showing where the stop/start lights up but doesn’t work anyway. Tried a code reader and no faults show so I’m a bit flummoxed..Think I will try changing the 2 rear sensors as I can’t think of anything else. Has anyone else go any ideas please.
