The EASY WAY to FIX ABS Faults

Here's how to diagnose a faulty ABS code and replace a sensor on your car.

An ABS light on the dashboard followed by a deactivated anti-lock braking system indicates a fault with the system. On some vehicles, the VSC or VDA (vehicle stability control) and TRAC or TCS (traction control) warning lights will also illuminate.

Typical causes of an ABS system fault are broken wiring, a faulty wheel speed sensor or a defective ABS computer. Thankfully, diagnosing these faults are pretty easy. In this video, a paperclip is used to retrieve ABS fault codes by shorting pin 4 and 9 on the OBDII port under the dashboard. By reading the number of flashes and corresponding with the repair manual, the fault can be pinpointed.

Next, the defective sensor is located and removed from the vehicle, typically secured by clips and 10mm bolts. Some ABS sensors get corroded and may need to be drilled out, in which case the hub must be removed as to not leave any shards or particles from the drilling operation from affecting the sensor. In this case, the brake caliper and rotor assembly were removed before removing the hub. Surfaces must be clean before installation of the hub and sensor.

This video was demonstrated on a 2005 Acura TSX but is very similar to a lot of other vehicles including Honda Accord, Civic, Element, CR-V, Passport and Fit, Acura TL, EL, Integra, RSX, TLX, MDX, RDX and ILX that use a rear sensor separate from the hub.
