Hey guys! I need to replace the front traction control or ABS sensors. First time for me and I was looking for some tips to make this job easier. Any help appreciated.

 

just had mine done but the dealership did it for free since I just bought it, How exactly does our traction control work.

 

your abs sensors are part of the hub assemblies, so you will be changing the whole hub, which really isn't that hard to do, just one center nut (36mm i think) and 3 other nuts hold the hub on. the abs sensor is attatched to the top of the hub

 

it senses the unusually rapid spinnig of the wheel

 

right but what does it do after that, stop it from spinning and put the power to the otherside?

 

doesnt transfer power that i am aware of. jsut uses the brake to stop the wheel so you dont spin out

 

hmmm for the most part ide say I dont really like that lol Im used to having full control of a car random braking just sounds irritating but I guess its not all the time I got on some ice last night and gave it quite a bit of gas and they started to spin then said traction active and stopped spinning lol so I guess it works just the whole idea of it throws me off, ill have to get used to it.
