Unhappy 2006 monte carlo abs/traction control problem

Hello, my 06 Monte has traction control and abs lights on when turning the wheel or going over bumps. I had the Code read and it come up as right side wheel speed sensor. I replaced the hub. Now both lights are staying on. I have checked all the wireing everything seems secure and tight. any thoughts of what could possibly be tripping these codes? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Default ABS sensor

Experiencing that right now. Unplugged sensor and cleaned with electrical cleaner and then lithium grease. Works for awhile. I'm wondering how difficult it is to replace the sensor? -Don

Ya, I tried cleaning the connection also with no luck. Replaced the hub assembly twice, and both front harnesses are putting out same voltage, so I don't think it's a harness. I am baffled, only thing I can think of is the replacement Hub is a cheaper one and it just doesn't agree with the computer...

Thats very possible. How far back have you trace your wire? might be a connection further down the line.

All the way up past the frame, as it starts curving up towards the engine compartment.

Well it still might be a bad sensor. It wouldn't be the first time

The rear sensors can also trip this. Have you had the ABS code read to see which corner the fault is on?

Did you ever figure out the problem? I've been going through the same thing on my '06 SS - had the passenger side front and wiring harness replaced...car ran/drove well for about a month, now the driver front is acting up on sharper turns - the traction control is engaging for no reason ...though no service brake assist or service traction control messages yet.
