ABS Wheel Sensor Replacement & Sensor Ring Cleaning - EASY How To!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
How to Replace an ABS Wheel Sensor & Clean ABS Sensor Tone Ring & Sensor Tip This is an easy project that most anyone can do and is basically the same for most makes and models of cars and trucks.
ABS Sensors go bad for various reasons and will cause your ABS light to go on. You could have a dirty sensor tip. It is magnetic and picks up metal shavings which can cause the light to come on. You can also get a dirty ABS Sensor Ring which can cause the light to go on. Cleaning both of these issues can fix your problem and cause the light to go off.
You may also have a bad sensor. If your ABS Light comes on you can take your car or truck to a mechanic or select parts store and have their computer read that ABS issue and it will tell you where the problem is coming from.
This Video will show the the simple steps to take to remedy ABS issues related to the Sensor and Sensor Ring. This project was done on a Toyota Camry.

one of the best videos on you tube-regardless of the topic. you presented the procedure in orderly sequence of steps which make sense. Just watching it, and reading a comment from one of the viewers who said he had 2 lights on the dashboard (brake system and ABS-exactly what I have in my car) I have a sensation , I found the solution I was looking for . And even if not, still a great video.
Far better than the other videos I watched. Thank you for your auto service!! 😅

Great Job!!!
Wish I had seen this video sooner. Was having ABS/Traction Control lights coming on. The speed sensor was not the issue. Instead it was the sensor ring on the axle; it was cracked. But I thought the sensor ring was part of the wheel bearing as I kept seeing in other videos. I'm glad the mechanic found this out and didn't just replace the wheel bearing!
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!
You are my savior. Thanks so much .you save me time and a lot of hard work .

@@helpinguonline Can I ask why you were so reserved with the compressed air on the tone ring cleanup and didn't blast it with a much higher volume/psi of air?
Thank you so much for the help. I had 2 lights on the dashboard (brake system and ABS), now I solved the issue.

Thanks! I had a abs error on a GX110. The sensor show signs of physical damage. Changed it, cleared the code, but the pedal still pulsed at slow braking. Did this cleaning and voila!

I am trying to locate an ABS Wheel Sensor of my car, the car in your video looks similar to mine, is it 2006 Toyota Avalon? Thank you.
Can we use petrol instead of brake cleaner jus curious
Lucky. Mine is a magnetic strip in the bearing. Impossible to get to without taking the hub assembly out
I understand removing the metal shavings, and all, but if the shavings are the culprit, then it (logically) would mean that the sensor is still good, right? And, once cleaned of the shavings, should work properly, right? Did you check the old sensor, then? What if it was OK?
I hope you are doing very well I have issues with abs speed sensor when I took outbthe old one it was shaving metal on but I didn't clean the ring unfortunately it was very good for around 60 minutes but agin shows the code do you think if I clean the ring it going to be fine many thanks?

Possibly or you may have another issue. It doesn’t cost anything to clean the rain so it is worth a try before you dig deeper

Just because the code says it's a sensor failure. You may first clean the dirty tip. Once cleaned the sensor might function

I was gonna try that tomorrow lol probably buy the sensor anyway tho
Thanks I am not getting a good connection intermittent I will try cleaning the teeth to see if that works. I took it apart and couldn’t spin the teeth. I now see how to clean them. The one spot I cleaned was very dirty. And again thanks for your help

Did it work ? Same happens to mine
why does it look like the sensor was touching against the sensor wheel or gear teeth? thats normal? and also if you wasnt going to change the sensor, can you clean them with brake fluid and towel as well?

I would use electrical cleaner on the sensor rather than brake cleaner, as it can damage it.

tone ring for ABS and nothing to do with idle.

How old are you spark plugs and spark plug wires?
I am going to check the cable going to the sensor first for resistance ohms. Then if good wires, clean the pocket like you did. Before I spring for a cable and sensor.

I think everyone I ever changed was from the factory and they usually break as i think they glue em in at the factory😮

I can believe that. As stuck as mine was, found my way here to see if a glue or silicone-type sealant was needed for the replacement to keep dirt and water out. So far it seems to be a no.
Personally I wouldnt use any type of brake cleaner or anything that dissolves grease inside a wheel bearing
Why you don't clean the sensor? So you don't have to buy a new one
thanks. I have broke tire an then use my sienna by 5 block to get my house an brocke de abs wheel speed sensor l get the estimate by 710.27 dollar . only the sensor 389.99 labor 107.80 an sometime more. total 710.27 with this video l can do my self . thanks
