ABS + Trac OFF Question

[josephs911]

Ok so I read the forums and had a question I seen that many people have had problems with the ABS + Trac OFF + SVS lights. My question is that they said to check the sensor's is this hard to do. Also what would be cost if i needed the bearings replaced? How can i tell if its the sensor or the bearings.

Thanks

It doesn't matter. They are both one unit. But before you replace them (it) make sure that all the wiring is still plugged in and that the wires are not broken / corroded. You will find a plug and wires on the backside of the bearing. Cost is about 100 each side and install about 1 hour each side. BTW, if you can do brakes you can do the bearing.

If it was warmer i could check it out for you since your not that far from me.

Thanks, I think I can check it out, is there a part # for it if i need it?
Thanks coupe, which is was warmer.

The sensor is the only part that causes the light. The bearing part is mechanical only but as stated, they are one part. You can inspect the sensor for a bad connection but thats it. I don't think an electrical test would be a reliable test unless it had a severed circuit. Telling which one is bad is the hard part.

changing one is a lot harder than changing pads but not that difficult if you have the right tools and a good place to work.

Getting the codes read is the first step and go from there.
You can test resistance in the sensor and signal output with a DVOM.

Ok so it only happens part way through driving i can be driving for like 10 minutes before it comes on does this mean anything?

No. You need to get the codes read from the EBCM.
