Speed Sensor


Hi,

My ABS and Traction light came on and I checked the code with a scanner and it came up LR Speed Sensor. When I looked at the wheel hub, it appears that the sensor is a part of the bearing. But when I checked a part store they sell the speed senor separately. Could someone please help me verify before I replace the whole wheel bearing.

Thx

Re: Speed Sensor

The hub/wheel speed sensor are not serviceable separately. The entire hub needs to be replaced...

Re: Speed Sensor

The people at your parts store are retarded. The wheel speed sensor is an integral part of the hub bearing and cannot be replaced separately.

Re: Speed Sensor

That is use in the trans for that actual vehicle speed that is displayed on your instrument cluster.
