The dealer just told me I need a new speed sensor to get my traction control to work again.I was told the speed sensor is part of the hub and has to be purchased as an assembly.About a $300 repair job.Does anybody know if I can just put on a new speed sensor without getting a new hub?Thanks.

That is an intregal hub/sensor assembly and will have to be replaced as a unit.

If i where you I wouldn't get it fixed...I think traction control is retarded. Mine had it but it doesn't work anymore and i won't get it fixed...and now i don't have to mess with the switch anymore!!

Depends what sort of weather-state you live in. Its nice for rain/snowy roads occasionally. Though I can say I've never used it, I turn it off in my 03 and the 9C1 doesn't have it. But if you weren't as good of a driver or something, it would have far better use to you...

Turns out the only thing wrong was that the connector on the wireing harness was broke.I fixed it myself.However I do agree with the other posts that it is useless.

No sensor no ABS either, same sytem in conjunction with the traction control.

A friend of mine said this is a relatively easy repair. I looked into buying a new hub and it was about $165 (with tax included). I'm going to get a used hub at the local junk yard tomorrow. A local mechanic said the speed sensor is built into the hub at the factory and cannot be replaced by itself. When I get the used hub I can photograph it and email the photo to you.
