Thanks for another fine write up NYCRISS!!!
Vehicle Speed Sensor Replacement Removal Procedure Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information. Remove the right front tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels. Disconnect the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) electrical connector. Remove the VSS bolt (9). Remove the VSS (10) from the extension case. Remove the O-ring (11) from the VSS (10). Installation Procedure Install the O-ring (11) to the VSS (10). Install the VSS (10). Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices. Install the VSS bolt (9). Tighten Tighten the bolt (9) to 12 N·m (106 lb in). Connect the VSS electrical connector. Install the right front tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels. Lower the vehicle The only way to test that the VSS is operational is to have the car hooked up to a TECH II and see if the readings are accurate while in motion. An ABS light coming on and codes C1225, C1226, C1232, C1233, C1276 and/or C1277 found in the EBCM may point to the VSS as well. |

I've been trying to do this and I am having no luck at removing the sensor.
I can see and feel it but I can't attach a wrench or socket to the mounting bracket of the sensor. Does anyone know the size of the bolt that holds the bracket in place ? It is a very tight location. I'm looking at taking it to my mechanic to have this done. Any suggestions ? |
I think its 10mm bolt..?

I'm kinda glad someone brought this up today. My buddy at work has an Intimidator and he took his car to Sears and was told the he has a bad wheel bearing, but it's not throwing any codes? Could it be bad without having a code displaying? Sorry for kinda thread jacking.......:o

I can't remember for the life of me which way this goes, but there is a way to tell if it's a front left or right bearing. It's something like "if the noise comes around when turning the wheel left, it's the right bearing". Or I have it messed up and it's "if the noise goes away when turning the wheel left. . .". Wheel bearings are easy if you have access to an air hammer and air impact gun. I've done at least 4 this year (1 on my friend's Grand Prix, 1 on my Monte and 2 on my wife's Impala). |

Yes. My car currently has a wheel bearing that needs replaced and I have no check light or codes.

My front right bearing is bad, and it acts up when the wheel is turned to the left. :thumbsup:

What's your Monte doing that makes you think speed sensor is bad ?
I've raised the front end up and removed the wheel/tire. Gotten under it and still cant remove it. I may remove the inner wheel well and see if that will help ? Thanks guys. |
