VW wheel speed sensor test & replace, ABS and ESC faults (Golf 6)
Вставка

- Replacing a rear wheel speed (ABS) sensor on a Volkswagen Golf Mk6. Dashboard warnings re brakes, stability control, and steering, and fault codes pointing to wheel speed sensor. VCDS and voltage testing further suggested a faulty sensor.
While the car remains drivable, in addition to the ABS and ESC systems failing I found a faulty wheel speed sensor also kills things like hill-start assist.
If you need a sensor too, try Amazon ~

last time I had an ABS issue I tried various sources for a senor before eventually paying the higher VW prices for an instant fix
Excellent instructional video. Thanks . I have a Yeti with the same lights on + " Bend lights. All I am told point towards a faulty battery or abs sensor. New battery didn't cure it so new sensor ( FNS) on order .
The stupid rear left sensor seems to be the first to die on most VAG vehicles, I wonder why though. Great vid btw
Same here 2016 golf gtd 39k. Turning out to be quite unreliable. Had it since 3 yrs old. Always electric faults
@@xxwalhalaxxmozza7415 my break caliper seized too. Had to replace it. I think it may have been caused by brake dust. Will try to fix my abs sensor. Maybe some cleaning will help.
So a faulty abs sensor can trigger the abs, esc, tyre pressure light, start/stop, handbrake, Acc, parking sensors lights?
Very helpful, thanks.👍
Hi Craig, watched many Duratec videos of yours. Thank you. Just a point on the wiring plug removal, it is advised to push the terminal towards the disc as you release that tab; makes things much easier.
Thanks
Hi Craig, my scirocco is showing 11.4 V do you think this is close enough to your 11.7? Thanks
Probably. Check another known good one.
Very useful, thank you. Which 'Reader' do you use please?
VCDS
Excellent video, very thorough and comprehensive! I especially liked the tips on how to use VCDS to check the functioning of the wheel speed sensors.
Hi Craig, I'm also Craig.. also wanting to remove this clip for separate reasons.. thanks for your help..
Great video tutorial, thanks for sharing.
Thanks that was helpful information. I think that's what is going on with my VW Jetta
Nice matey, I had the exact fault codes. The sensor out and cleaned them up as they were covered in crap 😎🤓🇩🇪🤙🏽
Good explanation and a very well defined thought process. Thanks C!
Well made video and great explanation, liked and subbed ! 😃
Great video!
Yours went at 39k, mine went at 41k.
VW were reliable once, eh. Now another at 49k....
I've since discovered a problem with the brake on this wheel which is generating a bit of warmth, so it may be the extra heat that killed this one.
I love the posh accent.
interesting im gonna check that i had ABS 4days ago*
I get 10.90v on the multi meter a bit strange
What the autoscan is for is to find out which modules are present in your car. Then you can make a scan list that is specific to your car which makes subsequent scans almost instantaneous rather than taking more than 2 hours. (I use VAG CAN PRO which may not be as good as vcds at knowing what protocols to scan etc and therefor may take longer to do the auto scan). Thanks for the clear explanation as to what tools are needed to remove the sensor.
Nice new VW
im owner seat leon 2012 and i have problem with the tpms system about the tyre pressure.
the light for tyre presure is ON and dosent respont when i put the tyre check botton.
is that the sensor for this problem?
Nope, unrelated
Hello craig,
I own a golf r mk6 2013 model,
Recently i have replaced all brake pads and rear break discs,
Since then I started getting intermittent break workshop message plus the traction light
comes on, and now the abs light is on the whole time + the message, we had heavy rains recently, i visited an electrician and informed me that the abs module needs replacement and am not convinced, any ideas ?
Need scan DTC's
Hi Craig, I messaged you about my mondeo going into high revs on start up, I realise this is not applicable to this video but could not find your original reply, I replaced the IACV and as you suggested look for vacume leaks.
It seems to be coming from around the coil pack area any suggestions.

Hi Craig, took my golf6 for a diagnosis check since the Abs error shows on my dashboard but the test does not specify exactly the sensors which have fault, does it mean that I should change all of them?
Any scan will refer to specific sensor circuits if that's the issue. The module knows which is which.
i got my wheel speed sensors from aliexpress. how's your golf 6 coming along? i drive a mk6 jetta which has the same engine as yours
So far so good...
Hi what is make of sensor please?
Hi can the VCDS Pin point which sensor is at fault or does it only tell you there is a general abs fault?
@agentcarbunkle, yes VCDS can tell which sensor is bad.
Changed mine and lights are still on. A yellow steering wheel light is also on.
Were you able to fix it? I have the same issue, replaced the sensors and after turning it on i got abs, traction control, brake, airbag and the power steering as new one
@@cesarhuerta8620 yeah, after changing the 4 of em and then going for a short ride. Initially I changed only the 2 in the rear.
