ABS/SVS = no codes given

[taisgod]

ok so my svs/abs/trac off lights are all on so i went to autozone to get my codes checked and it came back with nothing. my SES light is also on but it threw codes for emissions. so if i have a bad wheel sensor, would it have thrown a code to say which wheel sensor was bad?

Auto Zone only reads engine codes so it won't tell you if a sensor is bad.

It could be a bad sensor or a bad connection at one of the wheels. You can check/clean the connections when the car is up on ramps. Slide the connector in and out a couple of times and coat the metal with silicone (di-electric) grease.

Cleaning the connections didn't work for me so I got a wheel bearing from ebay for $75 shipped.

I put the car back up on the ramps and plugged the new sensor into one of the front wheels. I started the car and saw that the lights were off. I then swapped the new bearing to the other wheel and saw that the lights stayed on when the engine was started. That pointed out which side needed replacing.

ive went through 3 front driver side hubs already....its great! not really. ive had them replaced under warranty. the oem hub i had to pay for to get it replaced. two out of the three the bearings themselves werent bad but the wire going to them were. the second bearing went because the bearing went. not to mention ive had my car scanned twice for free at the stealership, surprisingly, and the third at an independently owned autoshop. its nice to run into deals. not to mention i went to autozone and i specificly asked if the can read the service vehicle soon codes. the guy said sure we can and so he went out side and he tried and he couldnt. i then said i wanted the service vehicle not the service engine codes and he said oh, we cant do that. then i told him what was going on and he said, its just a fluke, it means that you have to change your engine oil and thats all. i stood there dumbfounded and just let him talk that crap out of his ass. wow...dont ever ask for advice at autozone, they dont know anything. anyways, the svs, abs, trac off lights could be a front hub connection is loose or a front hub could be bad. im saying front because the ETS has nothing to do with the rear tires. good luck!

I'm not so sure about that.

I just came from auto zone and he cant do a scan on 94 or 95

he tried it and nothing happened

i have something weird going on with my brakes

sometimes i push the brake pedal and it goes to the floor and dont stop the car (yikes)

and sometimes i push it and its real hard and stops the car.

also my oil pressure gauge is going crazy.
i dont know if its the gauge or a sending unit sensor

i just got this GT yesterday and I need to take it to my shop to have it all fixed up.
the engine sounds great so i dont believe its the oil pump.
the SES light comes on and goes out and the ABS light comes on too.

it does make sense how u say it is probably one of the front ones because of the ETS light..im gonna check them today on my dads hoist.

[taisgod]

well the car is making a loud noise and i think we've determined it to be one of the bearings..so wouldnt that make the lights come on also?

[tenspeed]

A bad bearing is easy to find.

If it makes more noise during a left turn, it's a right front bearing. The bearing makes more noise when there is more weight on it.

[taisgod]

well right now theres a humming sound coming from under the hood but only when i get about like 30mph. my uncle heard it and says its probably a bearing.

[taisgod]

we've narrowed it down to one of the front bearings.. but now to figure out which one. if im driving down the road and i swerve right, the noise stops while im swerving and the noise doesnt stop if i swerve left..any help?

The bearing and the wheel speed sensor are in the same mechanical unit but they do different jobs. A bad bearing won't make the light come on.

My car had a good bearing and a bad sensor coil. That gave me the lights and I changed it because winter was coming. I drove around with the lights on for most of the summer.

can you change the sensor in the bearing?

No, the windings are wrapped around the metal.

I have 2 hub assemblies new in box i am now willing to sell for 115 shipped a piece. I wrecked my 99 GA 2.4 before installation.

[taisgod]
