Wheel sensor information
 

Im having trouble with my wheel sensor, (ABS AND TRACTION light come on all the time now). Anyway Im looking for pics of the assembly before I dive in. Ive also heard that it might just be the connections are loose or corroded. Any insight?

Let me know if you need the replacement procedure on the hub bearings.


And by the way... this would best have been posted in the general tech section :)
Good luck!

RE: Wheel sensor information
 

I have a 2004 Monte Carlo SS that is throwing codes about the left rear wheel sensor. I see these instructions were posted for a 2002. But are they the same for the 2004? If not, would you be able to post the 2004 instructions?

Is it true that you have to replace the entire hub? If so, that seems like a waste, as the hub and bearings are still in great shape. Heck, I have yet to change the brakes; the hub should not be worn out yet.

I appreciate any help.


Thanks,
