I know that this video is some 5 years old now but still. You did a great job diagnosing and repairing this fault. Your last statement about corrosion from aging and environmental exposure let alone the flexing is spot on. One more thing you should do however to address the corrosion at the connector is to apply some dielectric grease to the pins in the connector and to the backside where the wires are crimped to the sockets. Even some water proof shrink tubing will help as well.

There are more great techs out there than doctors are. If all the techs were like most doctors, you'd see wheels and parts falling off cars. But yes, there are idiot techs also.

Now, THAT is a proper diagnosis and repair and verification! After what we've been subjected to at high prices and repeat failures, is a dream come true! Thank you, Mike! I have subscribed to success!

I'm adding you to my list of Tube videos, you really make it clear as to the problem and the diagnostics. As karma would have it I have this problem in a 2005 Cavalier which is also intermittent. Its going into dealership Wednesday. Used to fix my own, but to old anymore. Thank-you again.

Absolutely FANTASTIC and in depth video. I knew I had an issue with one of the speed sensors, and have replaced both cables on GM's before based on other videos. Replaced them right to the ABS module. I extend the new harness to the module with some old outdoor extension cord. take the remainder of the sketchy GM harness right out of the equation all together. However, I am ashamed to say, that as a former mechanic, I would have never thought to jump from one side to the other to verify, absolutely, the problem. I've done that a lot with other components, speakers, lights, etc. But never thought to do it with the wheel speed sensors. Genius sir!

Great job Mike. A month ago I did basically the exact same as you just did but on an 06 montana minivan. No relevant codes.. Live data to the rescue. Saw the dropouts on drivers front wheel. Set up my cheap little hantek scope right beside my maxidas and could see the bearing respond but the abs module not seeing it. The problem was the exact same yellow wire inside the connector as yours. What a coincidence. As a DIYer it was pretty satisfying to have found and fixed the problem without throwing a bearing at it and still tracking down the problem afterwards. I owe it all to the guys like yourself who are teaching those of us who enjoy learning your craft. All the best Mike.

I'm having a similar issue. I have a 2000 Alero and in the past two weeks the problem started. Prior to this, just after getting my car, it was raining and suddenly my service vehicle soon, ABS, and trac off lights came on. I thought little of it. Then it this winter it would disable ABS and traction control in snowstorms (I live in Minnesota). Thanks for the thorough diagnosis testing. I'll be freerzing my buns off (as long as it isn't snowing) tomorrow on the cold concrete slab that I park my car on (even though it's April 7th tomorrow) checking this.

Hey Brad, thanks for watching! Good luck on your diag. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

Great video (posted years ago, but still relevant)! One big factor that the viewer should consider before he attempts this repair is whether he has a full sized lift for the car! It would have been a nightmare to try this fix lying on your back under the car on a floor creeper! In some cases with a different harness configuration you could do the job horizontally by jacking the car and pulling off each wheel, but even that way your clever diagnostic trick of cross wiring adjacent sensors would still be hard to do! In any case, nice work and great attitude about doing a quality, accurate job -- applies even if its just a DIY project not for hire!

Nice video. Informative, great camera work, and excellent step by step instruction.

Nice diagnosis and repair Mike. Great to see that Wells makes a quality replacement part for this fix. Thanks!

Great video and diagnosis! The only thing that I didn't like is the very last picture of the corroded wire. That is not normal at all, even for an older vehicle. It's a sure way to have more problems in the future. The corrosion is there and it's going to continue to corrode. One look at that would tell me to replace the entire cable. Speaking from an electronics tech with 40 years experience, and I also help a friend who runs a garage when he has electrical problems. Back to the good, you were very very thorough and many mechanics would have spliced the first broken connection and test drive to find they still have a problem. You got it right the first time and I commend you for that.
