    I am an older grandmother, single and doing car repairs that I can on my own. Sometimes with the help of a few friends or grandsons. I appreciate the comments at the end of your post when you say if money is an issue. Well unfortunately for me yes, it is. So, I will take your advice, save up the money to buy the Blue Driver, and will drive old school just like when I was 17, and proceed from there. Thank you for the tips.

    I think I have that right rear sensor issue. The wires at the clip came apart . Taped them together ... Then a friend said he soldered it. Now it's hanging down again. I just checked it today. So I am gonna get under there and check it out again. It was the perfect video for me at this moment. Awesome explaining. Thank you . I will keep you updated. 😂just what I think I needed to see. The actual showing off the wires looked like something I have had a problem with. Sorry for rambling but I have been searching for answers. Ty so much

    Great video!! I just changed the rear brake pads on our 2011 prius and all these lights came on. I did discover a caliper guide pin was seized up so changed that and the lights went off. Now they're back on. I need to scan it for speed sensors now.

    Thanks for this info. video. I got a question. Abs, traction control and tyre pressure lights on my toyota proace (2019) van stay on. These lights appeared first after i had the van parked for a week. The lights went off almost the whole day today then reappeared. Toyota says rear abs sensors are broken, while they do seem intact and if they were broken, the lights wont go off randomly.
    What do you think the issue might be? Cable issue?

    • @TheStanleyWay
      @TheStanleyWay  11 місяців тому

      Yes it could be a cable issue. Before you buy sensors make sure to clean the connectors and dry them out really well. Once you do that I would drive it for a month or so. If the sensors really are bad, the code will come back.
      You can drive safely without ABS sensors, just realize you don’t have anti-lock brakes and adjust your driving accordingly. If you don’t have the money to replace them, keep on driving my friend, it will be fine.

      Thanks! I don’t have any specific knowledge on Challengers. Hopefully that is warranty work with that low mileage. I would recommend scanning it with a scan tool before you take it in and write the codes down, knowledge is power. If you don’t have a scan tool an auto parts will do it for free. It could be a sensor and a scan will tell you that. Even if it is warranty work you still want to know the codes, it will help you learn for the future as well.

The car is a 2012 so it’s 12 years old with low mileage no warranty but still being 12 years old I guess age is the factor . I agree I’m going to get a scan tool actually have a cheap one, but it only diagnose engine stuff such as emissions ect Praying it’s just a wheel sensor and nothing more serious.

    '14 scion tc w/ manual trans. had this start happening after getting the clutch/flywheel replaced. but it happened so rarely i didn't think it was related. on a couple of occasions the car would not start. I'd turn the ignition and all electrical power would shut off like a dead battery until i disconnected and reconnected the battery then drive fine. however, recently the indicator lights (ABS, brake, traction lights, a dimmed left blinker arrow) as well as the speedom needle drop for half a second would take place when I turned the A/C on. Battery was old so I replaced it last night because that was needed anyway.
    Yeah I think it's quite likely a mechanic can simply jerk a cable too hard or not plug something back in all the way especially when they're doing a big job like replacing a transmission.

    Very informative. I’m not a mechanic but I agree 100%. But with my Auto 4WD Pathfinder, I suspect my lights are on because my front tires wore much faster than the back. Could that be the case. And could this damage the other parts in the 4x4 system? I feel like since the idiot lights are on, then it’s only operating in 2WD (Front) and therefore no damage is being done. Does anybody have an opinion on that?

    • @TheStanleyWay
      @TheStanleyWay  2 роки тому

      You are correct in your thinking. If you have an all wheel drive car, all four tires should be changed at the same time to ensure proper wear on drivetrain components. Then rotated on a consistent bases to keep the circumference the same on all four tires. It will also trip codes as you have seen.

    My 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid with 70k miles was fine---then something happened after 5 short driving trips when ABS, Brake, ck engine lights & chime came on. I quickly pulled over. My scan tool reports 4 ABS codes: C0022, U3000, C0001, C1012. What do you suggest I do?

    • @TheStanleyWay
      @TheStanleyWay  4 місяці тому

      @@mkd9251 my first question is does the car feel different in any way all of the sudden? Is it hard to brake or steer? Does anything, besides the lights, seem out of the ordinary? If not, how old is your battery? Have your battery checked even if it is new. Bad car batteries can cause many weird symptoms in modern computer operated cars. If your battery is 3 years old or older you may want to replace that first. Have your battery and alternator checked at the same time. A good auto parts store will do this for free.
      If the battery or alternator aren’t the problem then it could be one bad sensor kicking all of the lights on and sending multiple failure codes. This can be very difficult to troubleshoot in person and would be impossible over comments. If you have the money and know a good mechanic then have it checked out.
      If you are short in funds then use common sense and make your own decision on whether the car is safe to drive or not. When you have an ABS light on, it just means the computer has detected an ABS issue and has turned the antilock capabilities of the car off. So now you have a car without ABS, meaning if you jam the brakes you will lock up your tires and loose steering control as the car skids.
      If the car brakes and steers ok and you feel safe driving without ABS then go for it. Make sure to have your brake system inspected to ensure that your brake fluid is topped off and there are no major problems. If the inspection is good and you don’t want to fix it then drive it until you are able to have it fixed.

Don't want it to happen at high speeds, so going to check sensors before driving again.

    I have been having these issues in my 2010 Ford Edge and when these lights come on my car shuts off. I cannot find out if these are related. TCL turns on, red brake light, and ABS light. Brake pads and rotor were recently changed, found that front right caliper was sticking also. Would there be any reason this would cause a vehicle to stall at all? Cant seem to find any info on that, seems to be faulty brake system but cant figure out why it is stalling only when those lights come on.

You can buy a one month subscription for the AllData DIY for your specific car for around $20 to $30. With that subscription you can look up every Technical Service bulletin to see is this is a common phenomenon. You wouldn’t believe how many cars I have repaired using the TSB’s.

      @@riggoo14 it could be a number of things. Here are some things to check:
      Low brake fluid: Check the fluid level in the reservoir and top it up if it's low.
      Malfunctioning ABS module: The ABS module may be faulty.
      The wheel speed sensors may be broken.
      The emergency brake may be left on or not properly adjusted.
      Sensor sensitivity: The ABS sensor may be too sensitive and activate for no reason.
      Blown fuse: If both the ABS light and the engine warning light are on, check the fuse.

      If all these are good then take it to a reputable shop. If you don’t have money for a shop, your brake fluid level is good, and it stops fine then drive it. The abs light on just means your computer turned the abs off which means your tires can lock up under heavy braking so drive carefully.

      I don’t know what that is. Anything weird like that the first thing I look at is battery and alternator issues. Have the battery checked, if it is old and starting to get weak, it may negatively affect the electrical system. If the battery is ok also have the alternator checked.
      I have repaired many electrical issues, strange codes, etc. with a new battery. If those check out then it may be worth it to have it scanned by a dealer or a different mechanic. If they give you an ungodly high estimate to fix it and the car drives okay then it may be fine to drive it like that. Most dash lights are not much of a concern.
