I had a tire shop put on my new wheels and they pinched the wire going to VSS on the right front. so my service stabilitrac, ABS light, etc. is on. I am wondering if I can cut the wire solder in a new piece where that kink is? They said they would fix it, but I would rather just fix it myself. I am going to have the spindles off to lower it soon anyway and would probably just fix it then - just wondered if splicing would work?

 

Seems like a easy fix,if you know where the pinch is at

 

mine metled to my header... lets no bring up how that happen. anyways i cut and spliced new end on it from a parts truck and it didn't fix it for some reason. this happen on the wheel side of the harness not the side that goes to the computer. oh well

 

Fortunately, I do know where the pinch is!

So you spliced into the wire going to the actual sensor itself with a new end and no luck, huh? What do the wires look like on that sensor? Just like every other sensor wire or are they something special? Not to be a jerk or anything , but I assume you cleared the code out, correct? Again, wasn't trying to be rude - just making sure my bases are covered. Thanks for the help guys.

 

yeah its just two wires inside of that black one. and ya i went and cleared code and it popped up right front wheel sensor again

 

Bummer...OK, thanks for the help. So you replaced the whole bearing assembly then? Was that very difficult?

 

no i kept it there. still have no abs. ill replace it one day lol

 

I'd give it a try IMO. Most sensor bolt on to the hub assembly. Might be cheaper to replace the wire.

 

LOL...I will probably be in the same boat and get to it when I can.

Yeah, I was thinking they told me this sensor is incorporated into the hub assembly. I might take it to the dealer and see if they will fix it under warranty? Not sure if that is covered or not though, LOL.

 

dude, let them fix it. That circuit works on milli-volts, if there is too much or not enough resistance in the spot where you fix it, its still not going to work. let them do it so its their dime.
