    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 video, very thorough and comprehensive! I especially liked the tips on how to use VCDS to check the functioning of the wheel speed sensors.

    I did manage to successfully test the sensor with diode test on the fluke and had a descrepancy between a working and faulty sensor, this allowed me to 100% diagnose a faulty sensor

    good video, i replaced the sensor like an idiot without properly checking and it turned out to be a faulty ring on the hub and smashed the new sensor too. Bought two sensors and a hub and problem resolved at least

    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.

    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 .

    So a faulty abs sensor can trigger the abs, esc, tyre pressure light, start/stop, handbrake, Acc, parking sensors lights?

    So because they are active wheel speedsensors no point doing a resistance ohms test on the sensor unit itself.
    They must be powered with 12v to work correctly.

      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.

    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?

    • @CraigsDIY
      @CraigsDIY  9 місяців тому +1

      Any scan will refer to specific sensor circuits if that's the issue. The module knows which is which.

    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.

    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 ?

      most likely due to brake being seized and heat killing off the sensor or bad bearing moving and rubbing against the sensor. Mine was also bad on rear left side with seized caliper bracket

    So relieved to hear this. My caddy van had me seriously considering buying a bicycle until the weather got so cold recently. Society is not going in a great direction and if you have a decent job you won't notice it yet but if you are on disability and barely able to work you see the impending doom start to make sense unfortunately. Two winters ago people were selling their cars and reverting to just public transport which is funny and infuriating because the EU who stole 85 billion from us and charge us 10% interest 😂😂 on paying it back to the banksters that crashed our economy,
    they continue to drip feed propaganda on how much of a disaster Brexit is , so as to deter another victim from trying to leave ,
    People don't really notice that the gifts they gave us such as large motorways ( actually roads to help trucks transporting the war booty out of the country) and now we can't afford to run automobiles on those fine roads 😂😂

      From my understanding it may be related. Some cars have separate abs and tpms sensors. But apparently some detect low tire pressure with the same sensor when the wheel speeds are constantly different and VW seems to do this on some cars.
