New ABS Sensor - Tres/Quattro Amigos - Sporadic

[degride]

I just replaced the OE ABS sensor with the updated one that wires directly into the ECU. The reason for this was because I was getting intermittent tres amigos, with the occasional HDC light getting thrown.

Now that I have replaced it, I'm getting a soft error where all four lights (tres amigos + HDC) get lit up. Any ideas as to what this could be? The sensor has been reseated two times now, along with new rotors/pads (within the last six months).

Any help is much appreciated. I'm hoping that the bearing isn't going as I believe that your only option for that is to replace the entire hub assembly.

Thanks,

if it is throwing the 3 amigos and there is no stored fault, the slabs unit might need to be replaced.

Well the code that is throwing is "Right Sensor Output Low". However, the lights on the dash clear themselves after ignition turn-over. The odd thing is, is that the output is around 1050 when measured with a multi-meter.

did you replace the hub or just the sensor? sometimes the hub is what actually goes bad.

I only replaced the sensor. However, I'm beginning to lean towards it being a bad hub.

That was my case on my 01 D-II.... Bearing was shot popping my code.... I bought a used hub from Will or Paul a while back... about a year.... and she is still going strong!...

Glad to hear that. I really don't want to spring for the cost of a new hub when I'm thinking of selling it. Everything else has been replaced. I'll get in touch will Will today.

Thanks again.
