I have all those lights on. They came on when my emergency fell apart. I went last week and had the ebrake system replaced plus new rotors. I asked them if the lights went out? He said no, you have a bad abs sensor on the back left. He said they were going to just try and replace it for me, but the bolt snapped off and I think he said the extractor tool snapped off too. So he said they just decided to leave it alone. He said the 4×4 light didn't have anything to do with it, which after reading a bunch of posts, I know is not true. Anyway, what should I do about getting that sensor out? Should I just check around at other shops? It's so hard to know who to trust and I don't want anything tore up worse. Thanks.
Like you, I'm not a professional mechanic but I have always worked on my own vehicles. Learned a lot as a kid from my father. However, that was at a time when auto design was pretty basic, straight forward and no computer components. That said, I've acquired over the years a modest amount of tools. The BEST tool by far has become youTube. It just requires time to find a video that is well created. Yours is one of those EXCELLENT ones. Well filmed, well explained! I have the same indicator lights all going off at the same time (2012 RAM 2500 4x4). The lesser OBDII scan tool I own does indicate wheel speed sensor. I did a little rough driving through some snow while hauling my fifth, got stuck, shifted between 4-low and 4-high, reversing and forward, etc to get traction. It was at that time the same lights as you had, allcame on my dash. I'm going to first check my connections before ordering a new speed sensor. It might be the wiring or connection broke free. But thank you, thank you for producing a well explained quality video! I'm now a subscriber. You are an important tool in my tool box 😉
Great explanation using your natural talent at explaining stuff. Superior coordination of the steps to take in planning the diagnosis; very helpful to speed up & slow down spinning the lug and other nuts on as you work, and for $15 the new part works. Using the proper torque wrench is critical, but all you need is an economical one. i've been chasing a similar ABS, etc. wiring problem in the ABS circuits of my 2010 FORD Expedition, and this shows me it can be done. Those with a 2010 FORD can put off the diagnosis by taking a cold engine, key-in, the turn it to the dash lights up 3 separate times, then go to key off, then crank it up. Usually get a week that way, but wet roads prevent temporary success. Some use 5 key ons-turn offs, but 3 works for me. Great job on a well-maintained RAM pickup in this excellent video.
Good job Sir !! Just one small suggestion, floor jacks and jackstands on dirt and grass is a recipe for disaster. maybe i missed you putting a plate or buffer down and if so I apologize.
Thankyou sir for the time and patience . Very thurough. Ive always said; " We all have devices in our hands, that give us the information/knowledge to do , build, and fix whatever we please , and there is no need for guessing anymore." Why should we GUESS about solutions, when people on youtube(yourself) give us EXACT solutions, backed by informed knowledge, with no guessing involved? Lol. Wish you and yours well. Peace
Thank you so much. You are a technician. My lights came up after I went through a water puddle and I hit a palm branch . Within seconds abs , eps and tracking lights came up . I drove home without no issue. I use a small professional scan tool. Auto link AL 329. Unfortunately is not reading any codes. The rear tracking sensor cable was hanging . I hope I can repair it.
Great video concerning the Esp light traction control.. I have the same make and model vehicle with that issue. Wanted to know about those fog lights and if yours work?
excellent video... the same thing just happened to me and I was alarmed... more calm when I saw your video... Thank you very much Pablo from Argentina (RAM 1500 2017 model) (excelente video.... me acaba de pasar lo mismo y quede alarmado... mas tranquilo al ver tu video.... Muchas Gracias Pablo de Argentina (RAM 1500 modelo 2017))
2010 dodge ram. Replaced front right speed sensor with new and lights still on. Old speed sensor just made light come on periodically. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Good job thanks I got one question I have a Innova 1003 scanner it tells me the code number and also what the problem is I wondering if I can run drive my truck like you did with the scanner hook up thanks
Thank you sir ! 🙏🏾,,very informative !👍🏾,,I’ve the same issue,,same yr & make/model,,,,I was told I needed a wheel bearing 😉,,,😧,,,confused now as I’m no mechanic either👨🏾🍳,,but don’t wanna be taken for a ride🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
hope You can help me out, I just replaced both wheel hub on My 2010 Ram 1500 4x4. Things is now when in LOW Range, the ESP and BAS light comes on, eventhough 4wd keeps working...what could it be?...Does the computer reset itself, should I take My truck and have it scanned?
Interesting 🤔 I usually watch your gun videos. Greetings from a 2018 Ram 3500 stick shift ABS light on, skid steer, tractor, light gooseneck, too many guns to mention, & logged out property to shoot on Central Kentucky fan!😃
Awesome! Always good to hear from a Ky neighbor. Glad you like the gun videos, those are my favorite to make. I’ve got a wheel bearing starting to hum a little in this truck now so that will probably be my next video on this channel. Take care!
Video was very well done, I think I understand my problem now. Have a question, if I don't replace the censor will it actually hurt anything I'm on a fixed income hard to afford some parts
I think, and this is from my experience with an ongoing issue, is the wheel speed sensors allow the ABS to function properly. If left it can lead to the brakes locking up as the ABS thinks the car is skidding/losing traction which could be annoying at speed if that happens like it happened to me.
You will have all of the ABS and traction control warning lights on, as well as the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and BAS (Brake Assist System) warnings. I've read various things, but all seem to agree that your ABS system will be out of service, your Traction Control system will be out of service, and your Cruise Control will not work. If you were to be involved in a serious enough accident that investigators pulled the trouble codes from the computer, it would be immediately obvious that you were operating the vehicle with compromised safety systems, possibly making you 100% liable for the accident regardless of who was at fault.
U going buy me the snap on scan tool. My obs2 says cam position sensor 5 volt system and throttle pedal position sensor ZERO about abs. Put in new cam position sensor did zero to help
Thanks for this! I have a 2010 Ram 1500 doing the exact same thing except it only does it when I have heavy loads in the bed or when I go over speed bumps. Mostly some kind of load in the bed.
Nice video…. What kind of scanner do you have or model number, how do you like the scanner since from the time you bought? I been looking to buy one and researching them.
It's a Foxwell NT726 I like it pretty well, it's not a full bidirectional scan tool but it can do most things a shadetree guy like me needs it to do. Here is a link to it if you want to know the functions. amzn.to/3DwigeB
This is the diagnostic scan tool I used in the video- amzn.to/3DwigeB

Thanks so much for the comment. You sound a lot like me. I appreciate you subscribing.
Wonder if hosing down a wet speed sensor with that magic elixir, brake kleen, would help you when you need it most? Great comment from you.
Excellent video, I could see exactly what and how you were doing it. Got this same situation with my 07 Durango. Thanks.
great video I have the same problem for over a year now and now I am going to try to fix it this week. thank you

Great video and keep them coming.
You getting better every time Buff.
Thanks! I certainly appreciate that!
Great video my 09 just did the same exact thing last week and ive been wondering what i was getn into.

Saved yourself around 300. Mechanics nightmare. Git r did. Great one brother!!
Yeah ain't no way I could afford to have somebody else do it!
Great video Sir. Thank you!
Thanks for the video I’m going to try my hand at it !
Great video concerning the Esp light traction control.. I have the same make and model vehicle with that issue. Wanted to know about those fog lights and if yours work?
The dielectric grease is a for sure thing for me with any electrical stuff. Out here on the we(s)t coast, shit always gets wet.
Cheers! 🇨🇦
Good stuff thanks dude needed this to fix my problem
Glad I could help

Glad to help!
Very good video, thanks.
Nice job!
Awesome video! Thank you!
I appreciate your comment! Glad you liked the video.
2010 dodge ram. Replaced front right speed sensor with new and lights still on. Old speed sensor just made light come on periodically. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
congratulations for your video is very helpful. I have a question. This traction control problem affects use of cruise control
Yes it will
Good job thanks I got one question I have a Innova 1003 scanner it tells me the code number and also what the problem is I wondering if I can run drive my truck like you did with the scanner hook up thanks
Thanks for the info. Yeah my 2010 just did it. Hopefully it’s just the sensor. When my ford did it always was the hub bearing 🤞
Any luck? I just picked up a '10 and it has the ESP BAS light as well as the traction control light on.
Nice work, if you’d be willing to put the link to that diagnostic scan tool in the description, that might would be helpful , good video man.
Good idea. It’s a decent little scan tool. I’ll put it in the description.
Thank you sir ! 🙏🏾,,very informative !👍🏾,,I’ve the same issue,,same yr & make/model,,,,I was told I needed a wheel bearing 😉,,,😧,,,confused now as I’m no mechanic either👨🏾🍳,,but don’t wanna be taken for a ride🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Nice I like it
Thank yee sir.
Great 👍🏻

Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Buffalo.
You’re welcome! And thank you for watching!
Where did you buy the abs replacement harness ?
Did the lights go off soon as you started the truck or after driving it a bit? Been replacing connector plugs and sensors and they are still on
Do you have link for the sensor
I cant find it
Got 2010 ram 1500
you won me with "good-n-tight"
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Hey there what model of scanner was that you were using?
It is this one amzn.to/3DwigeB
👍👍
Thanks!
What is that scan tool. I have alfaobd I don't think it has that option too look live diagnosis
What fox scanner are you using? Thanks
NT 726 here is a link to it if you want to see the functions amzn.to/3DwigeB It's paid for itself several times over.
👍
Nice work man.
What happens if you drive it like that?
You will have all of the ABS and traction control warning lights on, as well as the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and BAS (Brake Assist System) warnings.
I've read various things, but all seem to agree that your ABS system will be out of service, your Traction Control system will be out of service, and your Cruise Control will not work.

How did you fix the SERV 4WD issue??
Replaced the wheel speed sensor. All those lights were on because of that one sensor.
👏👌🙌
Thanks!
Thanks for protecting the greater good
What kind of sensor??
Wheel speed sensor.
U going buy me the snap on scan tool. My obs2 says cam position sensor 5 volt system and throttle pedal position sensor ZERO about abs. Put in new cam position sensor did zero to help
“German Torque” ->😂
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍...
Thanks for this! I have a 2010 Ram 1500 doing the exact same thing except it only does it when I have heavy loads in the bed or when I go over speed bumps. Mostly some kind of load in the bed.
Goof job. Did your vehicle shift hard to reverse or drive.
It didn't have any shifting issues. THanks.
German torque, good one! 😂
Wow
First try
That never happens
RIGHT!
Dodge ram crap all their trucks
I work on a fleet of 5500 ram tow truck's
The quality is bad real bad
Nice video…. What kind of scanner do you have or model number, how do you like the scanner since from the time you bought? I been looking to buy one and researching them.

You need new dust plates
Yep. Those have about went back to mother earth.
The only thing you forgot was make model of scan tool.
I didn't forget I just wasn't promoting any particular scan tool. The one I used in this video is a FOXWELL NT726 amzn.to/3DwigeB
