ABS Sensors
Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 1:57 pm
After putting up with a C0223 code for a while (intermittent right front wheel speed sensor) I cleaned the sensor head mounting boss like the service bulletin said, on left & right sides. Did not help. Picked up a pair of front wheel speed sensors on eBay, installed them, no codes set, but the ABS activated on every stop. Jeez. I did the check per the service bulletin - VAC output when rotating front wheel by hand - should be able to get 350 mV AC , could barely reach 100 mV ln one, 50 mV on the other. Basically, crap sensors. My van is AWD - with both tires in the air, it is easy to rotate one, the opposite side just goes backwards. So, now negotiating with seller, and you can bet that before I snug things up, I will check the "new" sensor output. On the bright side, I can R&R both sides, and do the checking, in less than an hour and a half.
