      So it’s including me for twice, one has happened on my 20 years old Audi but solved after cleaning up yeah run fine till now on , and now it has happened to my newest audi week ago and I’m going to clean up the ABS sensor first next weekend because after cleared up all codes it’s still come on again after driving and limping too !

      Great tip. At the time I did this one I did not have a set of ramps. I just replaced one of the front sensors, and could have even done it on the ground had the sensor not been stuck. Ended up taking the wheel off so I could see what I was prying on.

  • @nbpt1000
    @nbpt1000 3 роки тому +7

    What software are you using to read your Error codes? The Wheel sensor are Hall Effect sensors and work off of induction produced from the steel tone ring rotating. Dirt(road grime) on the outside of the sensor should not have any practical effect. A damaged tone ring is something that people should visually check right a way. Excessive Rust can cause them to fall apart. As long as there are no metal particles shorting out to ground, it should work. That would be a lot of metal particles.

      I'm using VCDS along with the appropriate VAG-COM from Ross Tech. You're right on cleaning. . . It didn't accomplish anything. Someone on one of the forums had suggested it, so I figured it was worth a try before buying a new sensor. There was a lot of crud on the old sensor, either way it was worth cleaning it all up before installing the new sensor.

    Very helpful thank you. I just bought a 2012 Touareg and while driving it home on motorway 🛣, had the ABS, Traction and electronic parking brake warning lights come on. Had a mechanic scan the codes and it came back with faulty rear left speed sensor. Getting it fixed today, but it's good to see how easy it is to replace and maybe worth keeping the old one and cleaning it up as a possible spare. It's seems like a common failure on the Touaregs so being able to swap out almost like a light blub is very useful to know. Also i think I might invest in a scanner, it now seems like a no brainer with modern cars being soooo electronic, I imagine it will save be money after 1 or 2 problems. Going to the dealer for a scan costs about £90. Thanks for making the video and greetings from Cornwall UK 👍🏻.

    • @VHickleGarage
      @VHickleGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      I would say if you're worried about them you could just order spares to keep on hand. I haven't really had much luck reviving an old one once it starts acting up. I have had decent luck with the cheaper aftermarket sensors though. I would highly recommend getting the VAG-Com and VCDS from Ross-Tech. Being able to easily read codes and interact with the vw specific modules is essential if you're going to do any work yourself.

    Have same issue, had a hard conract with curbs and now sensor seems faulty. Gonna replace it too, we'll see.
    Plus information: since external sensor causes the problem, the error belongs to "reversible" category. This means that if sensor recovers and starts operating well (maybe then was a contact issue only, common in any VW model), then lights will go out always, no need to clear codes if fix was done right.

    Thank you for the video! I have the same lights coming on my 2012 Jetta SE and scanned it to find out my rear right ABS speed sensor is also malfunctioning. I feel the same transmission issues with gear hunting you described. However, I also hear this sound coming from under the car, best way I can describe it is as if a branch was caught underneath and being dragged on the road. It is not always present and it is rhythmic, increasing when I accelerate and decreasing when I brake. It also seems to be more present when turning. Is this something you experienced/Do you think replacing the speed sensor would fix this? Or is there a bigger issue with my brakes or wheel bearing?

    • @VHickleGarage
      @VHickleGarage  2 роки тому

      That noise shouldn't be related to the speed sensor. Sounds like it's possibly a bearing or CV Joint (axles) issue. I have some bearing/CV noise as well that comes and goes. I know those are both common issues on these cars. I have all new stuff sitting in the garage, but I haven't gotten around to swapping them yet. If your noise is intermittent then it's probably not dire yet, but something to think about doing soon.

    Hello! My testimony after this thorough and simple video (which I gratefully thank you for putting out!):
    - sensor replaced: lights still on;
    - magnetic ring wheel bearing replaced (it was needed and to further troubleshoot): lights still on.
    Since live data showed that rear left wheel sensor was soundingly collecting data and no diagnosis errors report other than right wheel:
    - Still need to check cables from rear left wheel up to abs control unit and if anomaly isn't from there, need to check fuses, voltage/power/etc from that end.
    ...this is an exhaustive process since I'm not a mechanic and these darn lights started their Christmas by themselves after 1 year of routine driving with no issue whatsoever...

You did install the correct replacement sensor for location correct? . . .i.e. you didn't put a right front sensor on the right rear, etc?

      You should be able to see something with any OBD2 scanner. That being said, I would try the VagCom and see if you get anything different. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a single code with all those warning lights on.
      It's more likely there is a module communication problem and that's why you didn't see any codes, but try VCDS before you go chasing anything else.

    Had this happen to me today, I just had my tires changed and rotated 3 days prior to the Christmas tree so the mechanic probably got the sensor dirty or it just broke (49,000ish miles), I don't have any software to clear codes so its time to take it back to the shop.

      From what I understand, it's a pretty common issue, so probably nothing the tire shop did. If you clean/replace the sensor the lights should go away without clearing the codes.

      I believe the Speedo not working could be bad Wheel Speed Sensors, but I'm not 100% sure. With the work you had done it would seem likely that they either left a sensor unplugged, or damaged one. I would expect you to have warning lights like what I had though. You should take it back to the shop and have them scan it and fix whatever they broke.
